Before going out to retake the pictures I decided to find the places on net by using Google map to see if most or some of them still look the same. I managed to find a where about of the places but pin pointing a spot was very difficult and this is when I realise that 50-60 pictures are just not enough. I needed to do more research which meant going back to the library.
This time around I was very sure of what I wanted out of them folder. I used their index book and browsed through the folder picking out most of the 1980’s pictures. Then I took pictures of those pictures and made sure I kept record of where the places were. I must have gone through 120 folders picking pictures. Some folder came to be no use but in most I found at least 2-3 pictures meeting my requirement. The glossary of the places I covered is listed below:
