:There was a camera obscura open to the public at Greenwich Observatory a few years ago. Can anyone confirm whether it's still open? Lee M 02:37, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I was at Greenwich several months ago and observed the camera obscura. The official Greenwich site is down, but: http://brightbytes.com/cosite/2green.html confirms the presence of a camera obscura  Lifthra 02:49, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, this is incorrect.  I visited it in 2005 and it is still open today. I'm going to edit the article. Gillyweed 06:44, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

I found the observatory here: http://maps.google.com/maps?t=k&ll=51.456611,-2.626521
Maybe someone could fix this? --BjKa 08:33, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

message: An unregistered user (62.31.160.67) edited this article added a comment suggesting the tunnel to the cave is not the length stated in the article suggesting it is more like 200ft than 2000ft. The reference cited Clifton's Famous and Infamous No 1 definitely gives it as 2000ft in the section on William West and I can't find any references that give a different figure. From personal experience I would say it's considerably more than 200 ft but didn't measure it (my kids counted 244 steps - but I don't think that's a reliable source for an encyclopedia). Does anyone have other sources to support or refute this figure?— Rod talk 15:01, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The article seems a little short for it at the moment, but if we ever need another photo that puts the observatory and the cliff end of St. VIncent's cave into context, I just CC licensed this. gothick (talk) 18:19, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
