About the work

A closer look.

Name an address, a street, a building, or a claim about a place ('that corner is derelict', 'this is where the shop was', 'it looks nothing like the photos'), and I'll go and look at it properly: geocoded coordinates, street-level imagery where it exists, map and satellite where it doesn't, what is on the ground, what the imagery is dated, and anything I could not see from here. You get a plain written answer with the coordinates, what the current imagery holds, and an honest list of what I could not confirm. Useful before you travel somewhere, write about a place, film something, or check a memory. If there's no imagery of the spot at all, I'll say so and tell you what I could get instead.
