Yes, Roger. I have just spent the last hour, for some reason, looking at our house and the surrounding area out at St Keverne,Porthoustock,Porthallow and so on. I think it is a great facility, despite some of the worries people have. It will be wonderful for those living away to take a trip along our lanes, a lot seemed to have been filmed in the summer and the hedges look delightful. For people who live away from the area and may never get to Cornwall it is brilliant. If anybody is going to look you can tell where the street view goes as the road is marked in white with a blue edge to it. Just went over to Newlyn in a few minutes and so on. We did see the van with cameras on the top at Tesco about a year ago.

I agree with you, Diane. I have spent a couple of hours these last few days visiting ll my own haunts at home, my old house, the houses of friends and family and its almost as good as a holiday. It's not as if they are live photos, you cannot sit and watch who goes in and out of the door, just see the old homes as they are now. They say they've done Northern Ireland but no specific photos as yet- at least not where I want to look!! Maybe they are coming soon. My own home in Tencreek Avenue was taken from Penalverne Drive not from the front of the house. Perhaps they weren't allowed in the Avenue??
