Google streetview

now that streetview has mapped most of Britain.. would you care to share any images from around where you live?


I'm kinda new to these parts ( this forum ) and as I said in my intro I don't actually live in England but my wife is English and we have a house in Cornwall and were married here...

Here's where we live. And that's my DH in the MG.

I think you would call this 'leafy' Britain. My term is 'picture postcard Britain'.

I really like 'streetview' because since I can't be there this is the next best thing.

Thanks for showing were you live!

While I was looking I went down to the train station which you may call the branch line. I couldn't get on the platform probably because the google camera car couldn't get there but I  did see the train tracks.

As I posted elsewhere I spend too much time each day looking at 'streetview' and when I should be exercising among other things. (love being retired)

That's great!  According to google, my car is still parked outside my apartment back in Boston.  Sometimes I pull it up just to wave to it!

Ophinky... did you live right in town ? ( I used to live in Framingham )

I was actually in Cambridge, in Harvard Square!  I just started saying BOSTON when I moved to London because too much confusion ensued. 

Yay!  Massholes!    (I say that with love, I've been extremely homesick lately)

You got it!

what's the deal with that anyway... why did so many southerners wind up in the desert ?

The pioneers were sent here to grow cotton.

Houses so cute you cold eat them.  I love it.

I'd post where we live, but who really needs to see another south London terraced neighbourhood.  Drop the Google guy somewhere random in Streatham, Tooting, Norbury, Balham, and you get the idea.  Being quaint isn't a part of the charm.

I was going to show you all where I grew up in rural, PA, but there's no Street View there. I could show you the entrance to our moorings here in London, but the stupid satellite view of the Thames hasn't been updated in over four years!! Google updated their satellite images of The Netherlands way more recently so now our boat doesn't exist anywhere.
