Hello kiwi,
wonderful pictures, as usual.
Trouble is they are a bit Small for me to view clearly; and they don't enlarge when clicked like some sites do.
With my olde eyes they are hard to see any detail.
I am interested in this neighbourhood, and especially the advert on the side of the tram.
Are your originals small / low resolution, or does this site make 'em little.
thanks,
:O)

Hi park town, I know what you mean I have the same trouble with some of these pictures.
“Are your originals small / low resolution” :?: Yes, most of them are, which can be a pain. At times I do make them larger, but it then tends to blur the picture, so no good to put on site. The first thing I do when this problem arises for me, is I first use a magnify glass, if that is not good enough, I then copy the picture into Word and then enlarge it from there, but it still doesn’t transfer to the site at that size, but at least you will be able to see it better. I think there probably is a better and easier way to do this, but I am not that clever, maybe someone on site will come back with the answer. In the meantime, I will heed your words and try to enlarge pictures where possible.
Thank You, Kiwi (Ray).

Hello kiwi Ray,
Ha, all what you said sounds just like me.
Instead of MS Word - which I use a lot for words - I use irfanview for images, esp when I want to enlarge/ magnify stuff:
https://www.irfanview.com/
What is the source of your wonderful collection of pictures; do you own paper copies — or perhaps like me you collect online images of London.
