22nd August 2023
When the current design of our Website went live in 2018 there was the facility to have a Third Tab to each capture in support of our rationale that not only do we endeavour to establish locations but also to show any changes that may or may not have taken place during intervening years. At that time, we felt that despite the speed of life these days, 10 years was perhaps not long enough in time particularly to use our potentially important reserve facility. The Website has a history going back to about 2004 but only specific dates for comparative shots occur in 2008 so it seemed appropriate that 2023 would provide a useful anniversary of 15 years on which to review location changes yet again. Accordingly we are pleased to announce today the provision of the Third Tab as showing for the first time in The Optimists of Nine Elms.
We are now, naturally, pleased to receive shots to add to the Site but, of necessity, the guidelines are firm.
1) Any new shots must be taken a minimum of 15 years after the original ‘now’ shot, no retrospective views will be accepted.
2) Submissions must be as accurate as possible, we will not accept wildly off angle images other than for the usual reasons such as development, tree growth etc.
3) As now, no Google Streetview / Earth View or other third party images will be accepted.
4) Images are subject to acceptance by our researchers.
