Yesterday I took Dad for a day out, would you believe we couldn't find a chip shop open in Minehead, had to make do with a very disappointing MacDonalds, but I met a very interesting gardner in the cemetery who helped me find a grave. And I had a go at a then and now picture, but I think I needed to be further back.
Great job with the now and then photograph.I think you are pretty much on the right spot with it, you even have the start of the pavement lined up correctly. The biggest problems with older pictures is the focal length of the lens being very different than the one probably used today. You just need some volunteers from this page to go back with you in uniform on their Triumphs.
I'm sorry you couldn't find a chippy open. I did notice one of the ones we used to go to as a kid is currently getting planning permission to be turned into flats. Alcombe has some good ones.
Hi Mat, it would be nice to get a couple of appropriate machines there for a proper reconstruction, there is probably enough to do on Exmoor for a week long gathering, maybe something for the future when there is a quiet year?
