File talk:East Reading, 1976 (1) (1).jpg

Date

The title and category of this photograph imply it is from 1976, but I can see no evidence of this from the Flickr page it was uploaded from. What I did realise from that page is that I have met and corresponded with the original photographer (Les), and sadly I know that he passed away around the beginning of this year. So we will probably never know for sure unless the uploader can explain. I will ask. -- Chris j wood (talk) 19:35, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

Looking further, I see a number of similar images in the Category:1976 in Reading. I suspect the same question applies to most of them. -- Chris j wood (⧼Talkpfagelinktext⧽) 19:44, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

@Chris j wood: Sad to hear about the photographer. I think I took the date from the description on the album page "Taken from the top of the towe of Wycliffe Baptist Church in 1976". {{circa|1976}} should now be put in the date parameter. BaldBoris 21:20, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

@BaldBoris: Ah, I didn't find my way to that Flickr page from the source, which might be my unfamiliarity with flickr. I'll update the commons pages accordingly. Lea was a great character greatly missed, but good to know his work survives. -Chris j wood (talk) 00:34, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
