GeoWizard | Can I find the exact location of this 1950s photo of someone's nan? [GEO DETECTIVE #14] @GeoWizard | Uploaded March 2022 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
The geo detective series continues with this corker sent in by Aksel, who along with the rest of his family would love to know where this picture of his grandmother was taken. All we know is that she was holidaying in the united states, and with limited information in the image, I had a feeling this one might be a slog. I wasn't wrong..
Big shout out to editor Joe who did a cracking job with this on his debut.

I played this map expecting the worst. I dont know whether I got lucky, but the locations I ended up getting made for some of the best detective rounds Ive ever had. They certainly werent easy though!
PLAY ALONG: Play your round, put your marker down, then switch tabs back to Youtube to watch my attempt and the result. This way you dont ruin the game or the video!

The smutty journey through yam yam land continues. In part 2 we venture boldly beyond the glacial M6 and into the heart of the black country. Arriving at the gates of Dudley zoo by 5pm is imperative, so Im hoping that Wednesburys old abandoned railway track isnt too overgrown or fence laden. If Im lucky I might even have time to take a little detour to the oldest pub in the black country for some local delicacies..

Geo Detective is back again and if my patience in the last one impressed you then get ready to be even more impressed.
Still a bit traumatised from the Haiti journey, Id hoped that a moving picture would take less time to find, especially one in Britain. I was wrong. Join me as I attempt to locate the street scene from an unnecessarily disturbing public information film about litter, battling demolished buildings and ever so confusing shopfronts. My only failure in this series was in London way back in Episode #3. Surely we couldnt have a repeat of that, could we?
This one took a great deal of time and effort to make - please drop the video a like if you enjoyed it - t really helps the channel!")

I have attached a photo of my late mother Jenny on holiday somewhere. She died in 2019 from cancer and I found this photo when sorting through her belongings and I have wondered for years where she is. I believe it was taken around 1965. My dream is to be able to visit the same spot and take a photo there holding this one. It would mean the absolute world to me š
Challenge accepted Cilla. Lets find our where your lovely mom went on her holidays and get you out there!
For those new to the channel, Geo Detective is a series in which I (GeoWizard) attempt to pinpoint the exact location of a photo, be it a fan or something different, using my skills on google earth, google maps and my questionable googling skills. So far Ive only failed once, but theres time yet...
