I found this interesting site the other day. Once you have zoomed into hyndburn and surrounding areas a button becomes available called 'birds eye' this then turns the map into fantastic overhead pictures of our area, you can even turn around 360 degrees. These are not satelite photo's like google earth as they seem to have been taken from a plane or something, they are very good quality, all I need to find out now is how to print off a picture of my house lol.

Re: Virtual earth
 

There very recent images them too, not like Google thats about 3 year old round this area

Re: Virtual earth
 

The pictures of my street look like they were taken early last summer - I only know this because my neighbour changed his car in August and on the picture it shows his old car parked outside his house

Re: Virtual earth
 

For the bird eye views just do a Prt/Scr - Print-screen and edit it in you photo software

Re: Virtual earth
 

Tried to figure out how old the pics were, know the ones of my area are less than 2 yrs as old as its god my mums car on them but can figure out if they are since ive moved in, cant get close enough to tell and my car isnt outside my house lol, had a good nosey though

Re: Virtual earth
 

About 7 month old

I have seen this used on estate agents websites.
There are some areas not covered by it.
When viewing mine (Osw) I can positively say 'pre Nov 2007'

Re: Virtual earth
 

Very good that, found and printed Mallard Place of very easily:mosher:

Re: Virtual earth
 

Thanks again K.S.H. :-)

Re: Virtual earth
 

That's great, thanks.:)

I'd say it was taken very early in the morning, from the position of the sun/shadows.

Certainly the addresses I looked at.

Re: Virtual earth
 

Your right there, sun doesn't hit our front garden till about 1-2pm and its nowhere near it in the photos

Re: Virtual earth
 

It's before eight in Ossy, and probably in June, judging by the position of the sun.

Re: Virtual earth
 

these pics are more than 7 months old, i'd say well over a year old, my neighbour moved out of the house accross the road 13 months ago and his cars are still on the drive on these pics

Re: Virtual earth
 

Blimey it's like an episode of Cluedo we know where and when it was done all we need is a victim and a weapon

Super Sluths are out there!!!

Re: Virtual earth
 

looking at my house, the factory behind is still standing and that has been demolished and houses built in its place so would say at least a year maybe longer

Re: Virtual earth
 

Just looked for my workplace in Blackburn and it isn't even built and we have been there 5 years!!!!!!!!!

tell a lie, when you zoom in its the old photos but when you change to birds eye it is more recent and it must have been really early in the morning as there isn't a single car on the car park and many people start at 7am

Re: Virtual earth
 

Had new front door plus windows put in Nov 2007, and it shows the old ones. So it must be before then.

Re: Virtual earth
 

I agree,well over a year ago and before 8am.Next doors car is there the binmen have gone to work and Springhill Club is still standing.

Re: Virtual earth
 

Oh well, not as recent as I thought then, still younger than Googles, I've had two cars since the one sat outside on their sat view
