  • My only question is, should those tags still count?

    Yes

  • possibly an old pub in hackney wick

    Could we have a more specific location?

    New tag looks glorious.

  • corner of hepscott road and white post lane

    google maps
    https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.5430995,-0.0253715,3a,75y,72.98h,110.2t/data=!3m9!1e1!3m7!1sPjfIC3hbVWMZTpkB79eKWw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!9m2!1b1!2i37

    actually the pub name can be seen in the google maps link above
    the lord napier

  • Ah yes; thanks.

    Apartmentification in full effect.

  • Thought that's Crossrail Place roof garden for a moment - but it's not.
    I've clocked where the seal was spotted, in the creek. But I'm struggling to find what looks to be a tropical garden in a derelict warehouse on google earth.

  • no more clues sorry, it's pretty easy, visible from both google earth and street map

    good luck hope you find it

  • The lord napier, lol, we used to party the shit out of that place back in the early 2000s. Think it was squatted in the first instance and then later there was some kind of nebulous agreement struck up.

  • I agree all pictures should be uploaded to this thread. It's easy enough, and the older tags with dead links are probably from older LFGSS website.

    My only question is, should those tags still count? (I.e. no retagging of tags with dead links?)

    Cheers, any more votes?

    And yes, the old tags should, of course, not be re-tagged.

    Obviously, insisting on forum uploads now is a bit like shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted, but since our grandchildren and great-grandchildren will still be playing ... :)

  • good luck hope you find it

    Ah ha!

  • Will get this tomorrow morning unless someone else does beforehand?

  • Challenge accepted

    Old: Good Hope sales / rainforest department, down at Trinity Buoy Wharf

  • That'll be a saarf lunnun railway bridge - just trying to think which one.
    ETA Thought it might be Herne Hill - But its not

  • I didn't read this so I'm just going to presume that Joseph Fry was the father and grandfather of Philip J. Fry and the J. stands for Joseph. I know it's old but time travel.

  • He was son of Elizabeth Fry apparently.

    On Wanstead Flats near the corner of Capel Road and Centre Road. Joseph Fry (1809-1896), the son of Elizabeth Fry, was responsible for the erection of drinking fountains for both people and horses. It was therefore a very fitting way to honour his memory. To the east of the fountain on the other side of the pond where there is now a circle of trees, there used to be a bandstand, which was used for open air concerts. In 1937, the day of the coronation of King George VI, crowds joined in the open air dancing here. In the early part of the 20th century, the pond, called Angel Pond after Lewis Angell surveyor and engineer who planned it, had paddle boats for children, park benches for the adults and fashionably dressed people used to walk along the path to listen to the band. The local people often referred to it as "Monkey's Parade". This was, therefore, a posh park, which explains why the local station was called Wanstead Park, although it is a mile away from the present Wanstead Park. In the early 18th century George III reviewed 10,000 troops on the Flats. During World War 2 there was a battery of anti-aircraft guns stationed on the Flats.

    P.S. Nice Steed BTW

  • First one I recognise. Not able to get there til June though :(

  • Had it been winter, youd've prolly been ok with a ~30 day lag.
    Sunny clement days? Not so much.

  • Someones going for the record distance a tag has shifted...

  • Boom! Got it. And it's not on Streetview. Last day in work today, for a few days. I think I'll try and get down there.

  • Am surprised it took you this long....

  • I also have it. This could be a race.
