I would appreciate if you could tell me how you insert your google picture, instead of the cut and paste/crop that I do.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636761469099608281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-484198747535822445.post-18246482295522346052013-03-31T10:32:06.538+01:002013-03-31T10:32:06.538+01:00From the modern Google picture it almost looks as ...From the modern Google picture it almost looks as though the pub is no longer a pub - other than the name on the wall there seems to be a lack of normal pub signes etc, and no parked cars. But I googled it and it would appear to be still going strong.Alan Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015127443616786425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-484198747535822445.post-66095786652554646482013-03-30T21:20:23.132+00:002013-03-30T21:20:23.132+00:00This my kind of scene - not just a view of fine st...This my kind of scene - not just a view of fine stone houses, but a family to boot. Although it's difficult to be sure, because the resolution of the image/photo is not great enough to see detail of the clothing, I get the distinct feeling that the photograph was taken a good deal earlier than the c.1910 publishing date quoted. It has a feel to it very similar to that of a <a href="http://photo-sleuth.blogspot.co.nz/2008/11/buck-inn-hempton-norfolk-by-alfred.html" rel="nofollow">cabinet card view</a> of a small village in Norfolk from the 1880s that I featured on Photo-Sleuth a few years ago.<br /><br />Like Lisa and Wendy, I'm grateful that you rediscovered this in your archive. I too often have greater success on the second or third try.<br /><br />The geology of the headland around Newton-by-the-Sea looks interesting, so I think I'll have to join Mike for that walk some day.Brett Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706734864792449845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-484198747535822445.post-10846358895799227492013-03-30T19:35:23.310+00:002013-03-30T19:35:23.310+00:00Great match!Great match!Postcardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16399915833682943432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-484198747535822445.post-26028875613025778512013-03-30T17:59:09.369+00:002013-03-30T17:59:09.369+00:00Other than a new traffic pattern, things haven'...Other than a new traffic pattern, things haven't changed much. I'm glad you decided to pull out that photo again even though it had been frustrating the first time. That should be a good lesson for all of us -- sometimes in our research we confound ourselves but if we just put that photo or document aside for awhile, we can come back to it fresh and clear-thinking.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-484198747535822445.post-25545029923250166002013-03-30T03:55:24.082+00:002013-03-30T03:55:24.082+00:00An attractive scene and bravo on the identificatio...An attractive scene and bravo on the identification, Howard. The Joiner's Arms is quite close to the sea and there is a wonderful castle ruin just a short walk to the east. No Street View but some still photos will pop up if one drags the person icon onto the map. I'll have to remember to stop in someday as it looks like a pleasant seaside walk.
