Talk:Strandgaten, Bergen

DYK

Poosible DYK-hook

• ... that the home where Edvard Grieg grew up, located in Strandgaten, was destroyed when the steam trawler Voorbode exploded in 1944?

Other suggestions? Rettetast (talk) 19:11, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Reading the article in Bergen byleksikon again, it doesn't explicitly say that it was destroyed due to the Voorbode explosion. It does say it was destroyed in 1944, but it is possible that this was due to bombing, and not the explosion. I'll change the article. If you can find a source that supports the statement, please add it. --Aqwis (talk) 21:08, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Ahh. I had too look a second time too. I'll look. Rettetast (talk) 21:31, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Found it. [1]. Rettetast (talk) 21:35, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Great! The hook's good, although it should probably be "house" instead of "home". --Aqwis (talk) 21:56, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes. I'll add it to T:TDYK. Rettetast (talk) 22:06, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

I believe the third picture is of Småstrandgaten, rather than Strandgaten. --Aqwis (talk) 20:03, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Yes. Looks like it is taken just outside Galleriet, but where is Xhibition?

The first image is probably the best. It is in Gågaten, but I cannot nail down exactly where it is taken from. Maybe from Muralmenningen. Rettetast (talk) 21:15, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

I think the buildings to the right in the picture are located on the site of the Xhibition/post office building, which I believe was built in the 1950s. --Aqwis (talk) 11:19, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
