I'm sure I would never have thought of that. ;)

For digital photographs it is possible to add or update the "exif" information.  Under Linux the tool is exiftool(1), those of you still on Windows will have to find an equivalent!  :)   I use a short script that enables me to quickly add focal length (needed for manual lenses), apperture (ditto), a short sentence and the coordinates (lat/long).  Couple that with the date/time info and even my old brain gets kicked into life.  Not much help I know if you are simply scanning in slides, prints or negs.


A great idea but I seem to recall that on Kims site, 'guessers' were able to view the exif info.  We wondered how some members were guessing so quickly!  :D :D :D

Hook and Hatchet at Hucking it is.


Over to you Diapason.


I had put a different GTP up and then realised that I couldn't remember where it was!  Had to change it or it would have been rather embarrassing.  At least I could have joined in on my own GTP.  ( I've remembered where it is now so can use it next time)  :-[ :-[ :-[


I'm sure a lot of us have pics; particularly personal ones, that we can't quite pin down as to where the location is.  Maybe during the quiet times we can have a variation on the GTP theme. 'Where the Hell is this Place?'  ;D

I only `guessed` that one as it is fairly local to me.


I think someone has `dropped a clangour` re the websites of Hucking and Walderslade which are showing identical pictures of the Hook and Hatchet.

I was thinking the same, but at Walderslade, the ` Old Hook & Hatchet, pre war `.


too much modern stuff in the photo to be pre war.eg chalkboards, parasols chair style

I think that I`ll stick with Hucking until John Walker replies.
 
Hucking and Walderslade websites appear to be displaying identical views.

Is that the refurbished `Hook and Hatchet` at Hucking?

Thank you Diapason.  When restrictions are finally lifted, I must head that way when I hire a car for a day.


Next one ...

That`s the one, John Walker.


The hamlet of Harty is well worth a visit, quiet and peaceful, with superb views across the water.


A three mile journey south, off the Leysdown road (A2500) on a rather undulating, zig-zagging road.
