Why this record matters

The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1653028. VIAF identifies the subject as 310626452. The Library of Congress control number is no2014111162. Authority coordinates are 53.000, 39.167. 1 of 5 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
