Photos how to fix messed up metadata (geolocation/date & time)

Since I migrated my Photolibrary to iCloud Photo Library, information on my photos, such as geolocation and date have been messed up.

The original date & time is set off by a random amount of time, (months even) and the geolocation data seems to have been altered. (Miles off)


How can I restore the original data or fix the fotos?

The ability to add, edit or remove GEO tags is not available in the current version of photos. There are a number of alternatives a user might use, but having spent many years using it todate and am quite comfortable with it, I still use iPhoto to achieve this and then export the photos and import them into the photos application once they are tagged.

Dates can be edited from the image menu.
