Cheers. I am sure that photo has been on here before as it looked very familiar. 

I need the points though. ☺️

Don't worry it was at the time we had the mad dash to be monthly champion as far as I remember. Images rarely lasted an hour without someone getting it right. Not often me though ?

I've posted the same images a few times over the years - only been caught out once. 

 

So far :whistling:

Oh, we've noticed all right. We just haven't let on in case you have Alzheimers.

Keep getting an error message when I try to upload a pic. It's only 1.3mb and comes up with error message ~200. Any ideas?

 

Think it needs to be less than 1mb.

Good brothers wine bar, Dean street Stockbridge .

 

Knew it wouldn’t last long, but I’m at work, so probably a good thing.

Aye, well the sign in the photo says Oxgangs Drive, so I'll go with that.

LOL - I never noticed that but, the children are not on Oxgangs Drive, they are actually on Oxgangs Crescent... but hey that would be a bit pedantic, originally I would have given either.

(Flats in the background are in Firrhill Drive)

Cheers. :)

 

I actually had tried to figure out exactly where (and which street) the kids were standing on using Google Maps, but wasn't able to. Anyone fancy giving it a try?

The street layout has changed a bit, that picture was 1958 or 59. I had a look at that as well, using google earth and google maps but there are too many other buildings in the way.

The red lines  I think is approximately where the picture was taken (My Dad is the photographer) form in the garden where we lived in Oxgangs Crescent, The blue is the flats in Firrhill Drive in the background.

Thanks. I think they must definitely have changed the road layout at the junction of Oxgangs Crescent and Oxgangs Drive because I still can't quite picture it on Google Maps, but that makes sense.

 

Is that you in the photo?
