    3D Images Added

    December 31st 2013

    The Victorian stereoviews have now been painstakingly converted into 3D anaglyph images that can be viewed by standard blue and red lensed 3D glasses obtainable readily online from eBay, Amazon and our web site.  The 3D conversions bring Victorian Scarborough to life and provide a rare glimpse into a world long past.

    Date Stamps Added

    November 28th 2013

    Every card now has a date stamp on the front image to make it easier to quickly identify the year it was either printed or sent.  

     

    The original card front (i.e without the date stamp) is also included and can be found by simply clicking on the date-stamped card front.

    Icon Navigation

    December 1st 2013

    There are now icons for all the sections and all the pages and a new navigation bar down the left hand side of each page.  We hope that these help you navigate the increasingly large collection and rising number of pages and the classifications we have used are logical.  If you spot any errors or cards where they shouldn't really be, please let us know.

    Videos Added

    December 3rd 2013

    We have started to add old videos of the town when we come across them.  Many of them are conversions of old cine films and news reels and quite a few are linked back to YouTube feeds with the copyright owners duly credited.  A few have been created by us for specific themes and more will be added in the months to come.
