Does anyone know where this is?
This is an old photo of my grandmother (with her face covered for privacy). I'm pretty sure she would've been living in Europe at the time, though she moved a lot in her youth so anywhere but Asia is a possibility. I think it may be the UK, but she can't remember at all and we don't have any other photos of this location that may help. I'd appreciate any ideas!

WW2 Italy or maybe Greece
I’ve tried this one before but had little traction. My grandfather was deployed around Italy and Greece in WW2. My father would dearly love to know where this photo was taken. Does anyone recognise the location or can anyone offer any clues?

Can anyone identify this store/street in Toronto?
Hi everybody,
The link above has some screenshots from the Goosebumps episode “The Girl Who Cried Monster.” I’m trying to find the filming location for the photo shop in this scene and I haven’t had any luck on Google Maps.
Some additional info:
They filmed other scenes at 75 Queens Park Crescent East & 180 Saint George Street in Toronto, near the University of Toronto.
The episode just before this had a scene on a street that was filmed at 4160 Dundas Street West in Etobicoke, so I thought it may also be around there.
The last picture shows what I assume is the actual opposite side of the street. In the episode you can see several people walk by with backpacks on so perhaps it is near a school?
Thank you for your help!

Where is/was this cricket pavilion.
Very little info to go on. Possibly in the area of Islington (North London) but nothing else other than one of the players might’ve been Mr Gay. Also unsure of the date but probably 1900-1930. Grateful for any help in locating it.

Church somewhere in UK. Any ideas?
Am trying to find a church that a wedding took place in 1955, There are 2 photos. One shows a double bellcote in the background. This may be the main clue. FWIW - The couple are Bill and Doreen, married 27th August 1955. Unfortunately, no surnames which makes it a lot harder. Have also posted on AskUK subreddit. Thanks

Some hotel in Rome
My dad took this photo in front of some hotel in Rome sometime in the late 70s most likely. No idea if it still actually exists, but would love to re-create it if it does.

St. Louis, Missouri, USA
I have been using google maps to find where this photo was located for a 100 year anniversary of my company. This is STL city limits (I think) this was roughly around 1924 and it looks like a tornado recently went through this area because of the trees in the back. Anyone know where this is at?

Where in early 1960s France is this
I have an old b+w hand colored and looks like sepia toned photograph of my late mother from before I was born. It was taken in the early 1960s, 1963 most likely. I believe it was taken in France. Can anyone identify the exact location and what is the river and castle like building in the background?

Anybody help me spot the street of my great grandfather in Czech republic?
Hi all, I'd would like to know if anyone recognizes this street I believe is near Karlovy Vary where my great grandfather used to live.
I'm in Czech Rep. right now and would like to visit this place. My great grandfather was born here but late emigrated to Peru and never returned, it is just some piece of our family history that was lost.
Thanks
