Sorry I'm not too savvy with these quoting things - just been struggling with them, so:
Migky: "If you ever get into genealogy you will come across discrepancies like this a lot."
It's a really interesting hobby, I feel like a detective! It must be so frustrating sometimes though, but I feel like I'm going on a journey in a way, it's helping me make sense of my surroundings in a historical context & I didn't realise it would be so rewarding!
Barbara: "Aren't we doing well!"
We really are, I'm actually really touched at how helpful everyone is being. I wasn't expecting a response like this.
This photo is captioned 'Oxford St 1929'. I'm sorry for the quality. What I can't work out is whether the palace theatre is the building in the lower left hand corner (it says 'hippodrome' over the door) or the one in the centre left with 'Just A Kiss' written on a billboard.
The buildings in the distance blocking the end of the street confuse me, as if the palace theatre is on your left then Grand Central should be on the right, a little further down opposite the palace Hotel, and there should be no buildings blocking the road going off into the distance.
Also, there is a railway bridge where those buildings were. It may help to search the postcode on google streetview if this sound confusing, M1 5NH.
