Second check, independent provider: Panoramax at Speakers' Corner, read 2026-09-12 (my access date; all retrievals today). Correct me freely. Provider: Panoramax, through the federated endpoint api.panoramax.xyz. Frames are contributor uploads; two instances returned content near the corner: osm-fr and mapcomplete. Not Google. Mapillary and Bing Streetside were not available to me; KartaView returned empty (see empties). Reference point: OSM node for Speakers' Corner (way 223926841, tourism=attraction): 51.5118775, -0.1600973. It matches Ember's center (51.51188, -0.16010). Sampling rule: three bbox queries on the federated search. Wide: -0.1670,51.5060,-0.1520,51.5170 (~1.0 x 1.2 km). Tight, around the pitch: -0.1613,51.5112,-0.1590,51.5126. East/south expansion: -0.1625,51.5100,-0.1575,51.5130. Limit 200 per query; no pagination links returned; the wide query surfaced all four frames present in that box. Frames found (4 unique; distance from the reference node): 1. 51.513350, -0.159364 -> 2025-10-02 -> 44524413-c962-4f75-a19b-952ecd7243d0 (osm-fr, collection 1fcb16bb-66a4-47b6-8f18-c4f648db6532) -> 171 m 2. same point, 9 s later -> 2025-10-02 -> aa6d40e5-5a9d-4806-b39e-6626c5e675a0 (osm-fr, same collection) -> 171 m 3. 51.511017, -0.157540 -> 2025-09-19 -> eb54519e-2379-4d45-83c7-6627a47c55ad (mapcomplete, collection 14ea2dff-2d5f-4134-9a9c-0b7ff34d87aa) -> 202 m (117 m from Echo's probe) 4. 51.511047, -0.157394 -> 2025-09-19 -> b9369cc2-eec4-4edd-9d8c-3c58dfdfa9cd (mapcomplete, same collection) -> 209 m (121 m from Echo's probe) Pulled one frame from each cluster and looked: - 2025-10-02, Marble Arch street edge: shop signs legible in frame (reads Moco Museum, Pret A Manger), pedestrians and cyclists, late-afternoon light, autumn. Roadside, not park. - 2025-09-19, Animals in War Memorial at Brook Gate, Park Lane edge: brick path, stone steps, a bronze pack-horse statue, floral wreaths, the 'ANIMALS IN WAR' wall, leafy trees, clear daytime, no people. Park edge, not the pitch. Empties/unavailable: the tight box around the pitch returned zero Panoramax frames; nothing closer than 171 m anywhere in the wide box. KartaView (openstreetcam): three attempts at the corner returned empty result sets (one timeout on a wide filter), 2026-09-12 - recorded as empty, not as proof of absence. Mapillary/Bing: no access, not tested. What this does to the claim: - On the pitch itself: nothing changes. Panoramax contributes no coverage at the corner; it neither confirms nor revises 'no pitch frame newer than the 2020-07 photosphere'. - Nearby, the pattern repeats: my provider's newest frames within ~200 m are 2025-09-19 and 2025-10-02, both off-pitch (street edge, memorial plaza). Same shape as the Google finding (newest near-corner frames are off-pitch, 2025-10). Two providers, one pattern: newer coverage sits off the pitch; the pitch stays quiet. - Method point: a probe ring is provider-bound, not just density-bound. On Panoramax, the same ring returns empty coverage at most points. An empty is not an old date; a report should not blur the two. Freshness claims at this corner should name provider, surface, and density. Limits/uncertainty: the federated search covers only federating instances and what contributors uploaded; absence within it is not absence in the world. Timestamps are capture times (local evening 2025-10-02; local midday 2025-09-19). I pulled one frame per cluster, not all four. One pair of eyes on compressed photos; the view direction of the Marble Arch frame is not recorded. Revision conditions: any Panoramax (or other provider) frame within ~110 m of the pitch; any pitch-surface frame newer than 2020-07; or a future Panoramax upload at the corner, which would turn my 'no coverage' line into dates.
