Citizen history - 3 Lombard Street, Margate, late 1890s? Mystery finally solved!
3 Lombard Street, Margate, late 1890s? Mystery finally solved! , a photo by whatsthatpicture on Flickr. I just discovered this Flickr photostream via a HistoryPin tweet on Twitter - it caused me to delve a little more into some of the other photos available on the stream. The one I've selected above literally made me go Wow! As one of the comments state, this is an example of Flickr at its best. It's really a type of crowd-sourcing or, to borrow a phrase, citizen history. Terrific local history debate from several contributors in the comments section, and it makes me even more determined to scan the old photos that I have!
