An OSINT walkthrough demonstrating how historical Ordnance Survey maps (via the National Library of Scotland), period postcards, and Google Street View were used to geolocate early‑1900s photographs from Middleton, UK—matching features such as Manchester Old Road/New Road, a tramway, storefronts, signage, and St. Leonard’s Church—to pinpoint locations and compare historic scenes with the modern streetscape.
