Wow!! I have wandered back down the years and taken a peak at the house I was born in. my schools and the church I was wed in. So eerie I am gobsmacked.

I just checked out my own address, and the photo must have been taken last August: the sunflowers are out. I (and anyone else) can see my laundry close up on the washing line!

I just looked up my Nan and Grandad's old house: the new people have tarmacked the rose beds and turfed the vegetable garden.
I'm going to stop now

Who's that blond in the bikini at No 37 on her sun bed?

My daughter introduced me to this today. It's scary. Checked my place and a few others. The photos must have been taken last summer, judging from the flowers.

I've been to look at the schools I went to, the house I grew up in, and as many other familiar locations as I could find pictures of.
It's great.
The thing about not being able to recognise car number plates and people's faces still strikes me as a bit daft, because it only seems to apply here.

I think the picture of our house was taken 2 years ago, I have Geraniums in a window box in the picture, but dint last year.

Also They have tagged our house with the wrong number which is fine by me.


I have found Google street view quite useful, I've found the hidden entrance to a nature reserve and the correct entrance to a RSPB site I want to visit at Easter.

Just had a look at the house I grew up in, and the local church. The church is the only thing that still looks like it used to. They do say you should never go back!! Feeling very sad now.

You are so right, Rustylady - the house I grew up in used to be Suffolk pink - now it is cream and looks like it is in Surrey!!

Do you mean it's got a fringe on top.

If you click & drag on the little orange man on the bit where you enlarge the image.
That's after you have the satellite image

Just had a look. This is over a year ago cos my old car is parked in the road.

Ours was taken last July - I have Hazel's Evening Primrose flowers in the garden, looking gorgeous!
