Can someone confirm my translation of the data on a Google Earth
picture please.

There are what I assume copyright dates in the middle of the bottom of
the image - in the case of the area I'm looking at there are 4
companies involved all with 2011 against them. *If on the other hand I
zoom in to an 'Eye Level' (bottom righthand side) of less than 2000

the image is clearly taken in a summer period, am I right in taking
that this indicates that the photo was taken in 1998 or earlier ?

Its probably a fair bet. Google earth would not have existed then, but
their source data predates them. However how fine grained the
attributions are is hard to say since they blend together many sources
of imagery.

What are you trying to prove?

The current owner is claiming the picture is 2009 and proves
continuous use since the business on the site collapsed in 1994. It's
more a case of proving he's a lying toad than what is in the picture.

Many thanks everyone for your input - the history information is
useful if it comes to a legal scrap.
