What's That Picture?

Current challenge

Every week or so we'll feature a particular picture or album that has caught our eye, and we think visitors will be able to help with.

The current pick is the fascinating and varied collection of member 001uk, which includes this wonderful view of the front of C.A.Pearson's Tobacconists and Confectioners, at Number 805 on an unknown road (must have been a long road though!).

Take the challenge and see how many pictures you can help identify...

Have you ever looked at an old photograph and wondered where it was taken? What something is in a picture? Or whose face it is staring back at you?

What's That Picture? is a brand new community-based site for anyone who wants to find out where, what, or who is featured in an old picture. Maybe it's a classic Victorian shot of a seaside pier, but you've no idea if it is Scarborough, Southend or Skegness. Or is it a vintage car, but just which make is it? And who was Molly Smith who was 12 years old in 1883?
