What an interesting link. I'll be wasting hours on this one during the next few weeks.

As I said a couple of weeks ago - what a fascinating website. I found a photograph taken in 1929 of the market square in my home town where I lived as a boy. I was able to zoom in onto the very house that I lived in from 1937 till 1946. I tried to take a screenshot but the website doesn't allow it. What a pity. I wanted to attach it.
 
Wait until you have sea air affecting a lift in a high rise like the John Ross building. Lift decides when it wants to depart and where it wants to arrive which can be any floor between 1 and 30. Got stuck in a lift like that once. It drop at an alarming speed, slow down and then go up again! When it did eventually stop, I shot out and walked down about 23 flights of stairs.

PS Right at the top is a revolving restaurant with fantastic views.
