  1. Again, looking at the hands, feet and the general appearance, it seems to be AI.
    Nice picture but I think the date is off by about 70 years.

  2. It was like that in South London in the early 1950’s.
    I remember my whole class walking from the School to a Church hall for lunch as the School kitchen was being rebuilt, and that was in 1949.

    • They still do it here, long lines of roped together kids slogging back and forth between school and the Y and some days there’s even fog, not a 1940’s English coal smoke fueled miasma, just plain old marsh water but kid’s hands and feet don’t look like that now 😉 and there’s something about the way the teacher’s head and hips are turned that ibuprofen won’t fix…
      That’s the problem today, you can’t trust anything that claims to be a picture, no matter how old it says it is, putting it in black and white doesn’t fix the artifacts.

      Is this an accurate description of what a scene of that era might look like ? definitely.
      Was this a picture taken on photographic film at that time ? I don’t think so.
      It still looks nice and brings back memories, and is pleasant to look at, but still an imitation.
