That pic is probably as recognizable to those across the pond as the pic of the bombed Alfred P. Murrah Building is to us.

Manchester

On second thoughts, cancel that. I think it's London after the IRA bombed Bishopsgate.

Gravdigr 08-07-2015 02:51 PM

Not Manchester...according to the caption I read, which could be very wrong, I suppose.

I expected you would nail it, btw...I didn't think you would have troubles.

ETA: London it is...Street name, perhaps?

Gravdigr 08-07-2015 02:55 PM

Carruthers gets the win. After a moment of thought, I realized I didn't know the street the Murrah building sat on...

The pic caption said Wormwood St., after an IRA bombing.

Carruthers 08-07-2015 02:55 PM

Probably Bishopsgate. It's commonly known as the Bishopsgate Bomb.

Close enough I suppose, but for complete accuracy, see Gravdigr's post above.

Thank you Mr G.:thumb:

This looks like a job for...Glatt Man!

Glatt, it's time for you to do your thing...

At the link they are working on the assumption the three pictures were taken at approximately the same place and time. looks to me like a different outfit in the third picture. The first two she has that blue dress with a red apron. The last picture the dress looks longer and red, but that may be from the setting Sun. However I don't see the apron.

Re Bishopsgate bombing - I had friends who lived in Waterloo at the time, which is across the river - about two miles away at a guess. They thought someone tried to kick their door in. F went down with a baseball bat.

I don't even think they're the same woman, Bruce. Could be different models on the same shoot, though.

From the article at the link:

A few things caught our eye upon reading the mystery of the girls in the negatives this past weekend.
Girls. Plural. I guess at least two ladies, then.

xoxoxoBruce 08-13-2015 04:35 PM

Good catch, I didn't notice that. :thumb:

If they are not the same women, what makes them think it's the same location/time? Because Abell found them together at the thrift store? Or they were marked in some way to indicate that? And lastly, why the hell don't you know? :lol2:

It's actually more of a When Is This?, I suppose. They seem to think it's Dockweiler Beach, California near LAX. They want to confirm this, and the time of year, by the position of the moon, and the sunset.

I thought this may be the only way to actually tax Glatt's mastery of WhereIsThisness.
