Allan Bell Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I am probably wrong and do not have any information you may have about the image but it looks more like Bognor Regis at high tide to me. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geogphotos Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 Thanks Allan, looking at pics of Bognor there seems to be a road between the buildings and the beach - but this could be a different section. If Bognor I suppose this was taken from the pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bognor I suppose this was taken from the pier. That was my thought. There have been some changes naturally but the white building in the distance looks very similar to whar is in your image.

geogphotos Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) Another one from Kent.

geogphotos Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 It's Pegwell Bay, Ramsgate and the Belle Vue is now the Belle Vue Tavern. The big clue was 'Banger's Potted Shrimp Factory' on the sign at the back on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geogphotos Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) How about this one? Except it turns out not to be Barcelona! This is by a famous photographer pair. Such good quality that I submitted it as stock after 20 minutes dust busting and cloning. Taken in 1890. Is this Margate?

wiskerke Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 4 hours ago, geogphotos said: The answer is now up - Saturday database update. The answer to the Barcelona one? That would be amazing. It's easy enough to see that it's Spain because of the architecture. Maybe the people are Roma. The ropes could mean it is in a harbor town. It could be it's a regular street leading up to a town's main square. The gates to these often look like this. However it could indeed be a market on the square, where the merchandise on the right is not from shops on this side of the street, but from market stalls. While the Spanish have been building large covered markets from around 1840, the real building boom came after 1890 (Eiffel and all that). So it could well be a place where there's a market building now or even where one has been. Would gypsies have shops in the central square of a large town? In any square? In any town? (These were my initial thoughts yesterday). Anyway, Google reports it's not in Almeria, but in Cordoba: https://goo.gl/maps/vmEHBFDEYWRKYz8H7 I thought it looked familiar. But hey these squares too are like penguins. Pictures here on Alamy are usually of the sides where the nice colonnades are. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I would need to contact the museum in Almeria to ask them why they are claiming it to to there. So now my caption is: 'Espartería en Almería' 1890, women basket rope makers, Hermenegildo Otero and Miguel Aguirre, mis-captioned possibly Cordoba Spain Edited September 26, 2020 by geogphotos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is where the image from the Museum in Almeria comes from as well. Or they posted it to Pinterest, I have not investigated where it originated from. Just googled your Alamy image and then looked the most factual one up from the results, which was the one from Cordoba which gave a name for the place. Yes I have been there too. Even have some images. Not on Alamy: I think I have over 2000 images from Cordoba. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacecadet Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Since it came from a contemporary photographer's collection, it's quite possible the caption has been wrong since 1890. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
