Mike,
I was introduced to this site a few weeks back. Zooming in is permitted if
one registers (free). There are excellent photos of this town (Port
Glasgow) taken in 1931 and 1932. I believe the aim of the site is that
users should ID photos that need ID, and give information on those that
don't. Some care is needed when entering a search name, eg, Port Glasgow
gets me near 1,000 pictures containing Port and/or Glasgow. Half the PGlw
photos are captioned as being of the Port Glasgow and Newark Sailcloth Mill,
so I enter Sailcloth. In fact, the photos show near 50% of the town.
Hugh.
