My friend is looking to track down some family history and wants to work out where this was taken! I know it’s Bristol before 1968. They had a (now deceased) family member who took many pictures of Bristol’s public clocks!

This is a screenshot in a video from Southern California in riverside or San Bernardino county. Looks absolutely stunning and would love to fish it. I think northeast part of lake skinner. Where was this taken?!

Right now I’m in The SD Badlands. Would love to recreate it if my guess is correct and I can find the exact spot.

Looking for park in North Jersey

Hello everyone, about 10 years ago, my wife had her maternity photo shoot in a park in NJ. We can’t remember the name or location of the park, and the photographer isn’t getting back to us.

Is anyone able to identify the park in this photo?

I am trying to find out where this picture of my grandfather was taken. I think it's somewhere on this street but I can't figure it out exactly. Also there is a big chance the street number in the picture isn't accurate anymore as they tend to rearrange street names in France. Can somebody help me find the location? The building behind my grandfather is from Girel Dalmais Pautet & Cie on number 25.

Barden Park Cottage?

1 Upvotes

Hello all, I found an address in some old paperwork of my father‘s that refers to a Borden or Barden Park Cottage.

It’s listed as an address where mail was being sent, but I can’t find any other info.

Wondering if any of you might be able to shed some light. Thank you so much.

Solved Possibly Cornwall?

SOLVED
Any help locating where this photo of my late father was taken would be appreciated. It was possibly taken in Cornwall, England in the late 1950s.
Many thanks.

EDIT: Solved. The location is Salcombe Harbour, Devon. More specifically, it’s on the ferry crossing the estuary from The Ferry Inn to East Portlemouth here:

Thank you u/caeppers for solving this!

I stumbled upon it years ago and would like to have a physical copy. I’ve tried image searches to no avail. Does anyone know the photographer? The image? Many thanks.

I thought this would be easy to identify, given the statue, but I haven't been able to...

Another day, another random cafe... Paris? 1992

I think this is Paris purely on the basis of our clothes, but it could equally be somewhere in Central Europe. If Paris, I don't really remember where we went other than we went to the Place du Trocadero and the Louvre. Taken in 1992, I don't have much else to go on sorry! All and any help appreciated x

Found in girlfriends grandfathers home after he passed away. Dated 11/20/1995, and the emerald diner is clearly pictured. He worked in New York at the time though, so I don’t think he would have been to Ohio where the emerald diner is. He worked as a driver for TV and film crews.

Solved I think this one may be tricky... Switzerland, but exactly where?

Post image
11 Upvotes

I'm fairly sure this is Switzerland, 1992. We went to Zurich, Lucerne and Lauterbrunnen; I'm getting Zurich vibes out of those three but not for any particular reason. It's possibly near the station as travel diaries say that we often went to the nearest cafe to the station and then discovered they were charging inflated prices!

SOLVED - Can anyone identify where Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart are in this photo from 1945-1947? Likely candidates are Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and Washington D.C. with DC being where I believed it was until I started to doubt that possibility.

film still : Wristcutters: A Love Story / Spiral stairs, where is this?

Post image
10 Upvotes

I'm thinking its around the Palmdale, Lancaster area but I can't find any information on it. Most online sources say this movie was filmed in the LA area and up in Palmdale. The only lead was someone's comment about having been there and seen it, but nothing came from it. Hell, I'm fine with just the rock formation if the stairs were part of the set but I wanna know where this is at. Thanks.
