Wouldhave Memorial. Proof that I am right Norman

Hi Norman

On the 3 September you added a tread to the Wouldhave Memorial issue with a Google photograph under the heading "to prove me wrong".

With your permission, I would like to use your original photograph to clear up the "doctoring of the photo" claim with a simple proof that all you doubters can use.

"Copy" and "paste" the photograph onto a blank "Word" sheet of paper.
Using the slider enlarger in the bottom right corner of your computer screen, blow the photograph up to max size.

Now look at the left hand side of the picture.

You will see that most of the left and part of the right side of the tower has been re-drawn.
"Ocean road" has been drawn in and look at the poor little legs on the guy crossing the road.

Hi Llyn,
Most of us looking at that photo can see parts in the distance were drawn in.Just look at those windows

Over the years Ive seen a few few old postcards where they draw over a section that for some reason didnt show very well. They dont add in, just draw over what didnt show up.
Here is a different photo and that also shows there is a very gentle slope up to the Lawe Rd junction.

Ocean Road look at the fall from Lawe Road

I almost cannot believe the fall of Ocean Road from Lawe Road.

I’ve looked on Google Street view and it’s very difficult to actual see the fall but it’s there you have to look it the roof lines.

However there have been a lot of changes to the buildings over the years.

Looking at the Marine Pub on the corner of Ocean Road and Lawe road. The broad black strip at footpath level appears to be not as high at the Lawe Road side than the other.

One of these days I will get up to Shields and just walk it to see.

This latest photo from Norman it looks as if there big fall away from Lawe Road of Ocean Road towards Kings Road.
