This really is an invasion of privacy, however, I love it!!
I've got my birthplace, etc, homes in Oz and when we lived in Asia.
Sticky beaked all my Christmas cards addresses.
I don't know how they do it.
Please let me know what you think and how you get on.
Thanks
Tina

Gave it a try and it does find the correct road but not the right house. Interesting though

Gave it a try and saw a banner across the top but nowt else! No privacy problem, then.

Do you think it's any more invasive than streetview on google? I checked that out when visiting a cousin whose house I had never been to before and there he was hiding behind his garage!

This one didn't actually get the right street, but close.

I had a go not very impressive
birth place - factory and carpark (property is definitely still standing)
1950s not the right road
1960s the right house
1976 - 1987 the garage at the the back of the houses
1987 - 2002 the house next door
present day the tarmac of the road no properties!!


At least with google I can find the correct properties.

Sorry but not at all impressed! Decidedly unimpressed in fact. Tried 5 addresses and got zilch. OK, I can understand not getting my current address out here in the Irish sticks, but none of the others on Merseyside turned up and they are still there today.

I received this link today.
My house photo taken about 15 months ago.
You may have more luck.
I found our first home, a 2nd floor flat in Wavertree :)
