Homes
I’ve just discovered local.live.com and sometimes the images are much better than google maps.
Aerial view of the first house I can remember living in, google maps can only show the whole of Cherry Willingham and virtually no detail.
Aerial view of the house I remember best from my childhood, google maps acheives roughly the same level of zoom but I prefer this one since it has the car I drive on it :-).
Aerial view of 2 Parker House where my grandparents (Partridge) used to live, google maps actually achieves a clearer image than this.
I know my grandparents (Bosman) used to live on Swallow Avenue, but I can’t remember where exactly, Google maps can only zoom in to the whole of Skellingthorpe.
My grandparents (Bosman) also used to live here. Google maps again can’t compete with this level of zoom and can only zoom into the whole of Wickford.

I’m glad to see that the Leigh-on-Sea picture includes one of the town’s old landmarks. I remember the days well of telling taxi drivers “it’s the one with the caravan”.
