Ha Ha!!! the've got the number of my house wrong - and I'm so grateful for the (neatly trimmed in the map) Leyalndii 0 it hides a multitude of junk!
They've also got a couple of lads up to 'no good' outside next door!! LOL

Oh my goodness.I have looked at every house I have lived except for 1 where I lived for a few months as a baby when I was adopted.I think that one must have been knocked down.It's a shame as that was the one I would have loved to have seen.Brilliant isn't it.

Managed to 'sus' it now Ann thanks

I've been having a lovely afternoon. I found lots of ancestral addresses and then I started wandering around places I like.

I've walked across the causeway to Lindisfarne and up to the castle, I've had a wander around Aberdovey and Tresaith.

And I've just "walked" over the Severn bridge. This could easily become my favourite waste of time.

I've even seen names on some gravestones.

Julia to find it I googled google street maps but I admit it took a bit of finding.

It's wonderful isn't it:))

Thanks again Gwynne, I have been having a play with it, and am sure I will get the hang of it soon.

Left click on the little orange man on the scale thing and drag him to where you want to be.

Thanks Gwynne, I have always been able to access that, but it is the views that everyone else on here seems to be able to access, that I cannot get. You know, someone at a bus stop, someones back cludgie etc.

Go to google then at the upper left of the screen you'll see Maps, click on that.

Hi Julia,I am pretty stupid with computers,but could you try typing "google maps".

I am off to try now.

For the life of me, I cannot get to where the rest of you are obviously at. That is to say, I put into google, the google.co.uk part, and it doesn't take me to where I want to be.
HEEEEEEEEEEEELP

OMG, fame at last, they got me weeding the garden, lol

Gwyyne, consider your self Lucky, Its a Burglers Delight,the can see all.**M**.

I've just been looking at the house where I lived from the age of 5 - 18. The shop next door is now called 'Happy Times'. How apt!

Sadly they must have airbrushed my two fingered salute out.

I think it's great. I can see my SIL's home in Cheshire and she can see mine here in Sydney!
My neighbour happened to be parked on a Bus Stop when our street was photographed. Busted!

Mummo, just got to google.co.uk and click on maps

Can someone give me the link so l can have a look,.........thanks.

Thank goodness ours isn't on it! They'd driven up the road, but turned into a cul de sac before getting to our end.

Although it's interesting looking at old addresses, it somehow doesn't feel right when its your current dwelling
