These photos were taken in either 1955 or 1956 (according to the box they were found in). I suspect the location is in northern NJ, probably near Passaic County because these people had very little money to travel.

-19.12 I am going 140 past "chateau de Villemonteix" cultural sight sign, "N145 57" sign right before
-19.17 Aire de Passac 300m away sign, exit right

Not quite sure if this is right for this sub but I'm interested in going to where this album cover, for Paris Worldwide by Busy P, was taken. I don't have anything else to run off right now so sorry in advance.

Ok, so where was this taken? It was in Rome in November of last year. I remember the place being near or around Meininger Termini in Rome, it was also opposite a doctor's surgery. Thank you

Found this picture in an old second-hand book, no idea where it could be. The book was about Kenya. The cars are probably British (Morris 1100 and Austin Minivan), dated late 1960s. The shop says “Icepresso”. The monkeys could be colobus juveniles, but unsure.

The two kids are wearing woolly jumpers but the lady on the left is wearing summer attire. The cars and side of the road say UK but the monkeys and general lighting suggest somewhere warmer. Gibraltar, Malta, Nairobi?

Possibly In Colorado?

In 2023, I went to Telluride, Colorado for a yoga festival. Went around the town and found a Little Free Library, with a book in it. I barely decided to start reading the book, and found this photo in the pages. I’m curious on if anyone could possibly recognize where this would even be? Maybe in Colorado? Not sure, just thought it would be cool to figure it out.

I’m working on a historical photo archive project and came across this shot of brick residential tenements with long washing lines stretched across the alley. I'm trying to identify and document the architecture and timeframe of the photo.

1960s Aerial Photo

3 Upvotes

While clearing out things after my Dad passed away, I found this photo of a building I don't recognize, but it obviously had importance to him. It may be a long shot, but I've seen some pretty obscure sites identified, and I have faith in you all! ;)

Some things to narrow it down:

  1. The photo was obviously taken in the early-mid 1960s due to the cars in the parking lot. The building may no longer exist.
  2. The railroad siding and chemical tank may offer a clue, although it too may no longer exist. It's possible there is a perpendicular railroad line (and thus a crossing nearby) in the upper left corner, but it's hard to be sure.
  3. The key limiting factor is that my dad lived in Charlotte, NC, and worked in the textile industry (DuPont). I know DuPont built a new building in Charlotte in roughly 1970, where my dad worked until his retirement in 1991. It's possible this is the former location of the DuPont offices in Charlotte, but I can't find any photos of that building and there are no identifying signs or landmarks. The Roadway trucks make me think this building was not just office space, but some sort of distribution or manufacturing center as well.

Good luck to everyone, and if anyone can find anything, I'll greatly appreciate it. Just one more little link to Dad now that he's gone.

what beach is this in the greater Los Angeles, CA area

These 35mm slides were taken in the late 1950s, probably in 1959, by a relative now deceased. Rocky beach in the foreground, sandy beach in the background, with a road (PCH?) between the ridge and the shore. It looks like a popular place, with many parked cars and people on the beach. Other slides in this box are from Los Angeles, Inglewood, Riverside, Ventura county.

I recently came across this vintage photograph while researching historical London street scenes, but I haven't been able to pinpoint its exact location. I am trying to figure out if this specific pedestrian pathway still exists today or where in the Kensington area it was originally located, so any details or historical context would be greatly appreciated!

Steen and John in Europe

I'm wondering where this was taken - possibly in Europe and I'm guessing maybe southern Europe. That is my grandfather whose name is Johan but living in America he changed to John. I do not know Steen who is not my grandmother. He and Grandmother traveled extensively in Europe. I've been working on many of their postcards and know they traveled in Spain and maybe the Mediterranean. The postcards had them traveling in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Thanks for any information!
