Photos of the Past Approved. Really nice app, James - has it had much take up by The Commons community? - Emma

Apologies Emma, I've only just seen this comment. Glad you liked it. Not much uptake as yet, but I haven't really promoted it directly to them. I have now set it though to automatically post comments when geo or date suggestions are made and are awaiting approval (as you saw here) so I suspect more people will become aware of it. So far there have been 316 geo suggestions and 182 date suggestions across all Commons images, but over a half of these remain unapproved. I'm just working on some functionality that would allow you to set challenges, for example to create a set and then promote those amongst your users. Would that be of interest? You can of course already promote a link to any individual image in the form www.whatsthatpicture.com/flickr/commons/photo.php?photo_i... (using the image ID from the photo page url) or to a search on your images, for example www.whatsthatpicture.com/flickr/commons/search.php?q=&... is all your non-geotagged images dated pre-1900 (I can see some quite obvious ones I could get started with!)

Agnes Power Marsh, wife of American businessman Henry Wheelwright Marsh; they were married in 1903, and they were leasing Warwick Castle in 1915. Her husband's bookplate: www.jjhc.info/bookplatemarshhenrywheelwright.htm The event may have been connected to the Harvard Unit, a group of American doctors, dentists, surgeons, and nurses organized to treat the wounded of WWI:

"The members of the Unit were generously entertained on English soil; one of the first attentions was a reception at Warwick Castle, the home of Henry W. Marsh, '83, who has since maintained a warm interest in the Unit and acted as its assistant manager, an office for which he was peculiarly fitted because he has spent so much of his time during the war in England and France." Harvard Alumni Bulletin21(1918): 360.

Thanks for your research pennylricharsca. We'll add some of the information to the record the next time we update.

Ooo! There are people; I didn't see them at first.

I bet it is Ashford Castle, Mayo. ;-)

How much????

National Library of Ireland on The Commons A virtual sticky bun !

I don't think so... Those gothic arched windows with roses look religious to me - an abbey, convent etc? I don't think Ashford is that high above the water, either.
