Internet Explorer Problem - I've just noticed that the embedded Street Views are not displaying properly on Internet Explorer. The Street View is pointing up in the air - you have to tilt the camera downwards manually. However, even doing this means that the image is wider-angled than normal. I have reported this on the Google Street View forum and hopefully it will be resolved soon. Everything works fine with Firefox and Chrome. I haven't tried with Safari, Opera or any other browsers. I'd be interested to know when these problems started appearing and if they affect any other browsers.
Site Update - I've been updating this blog every day since I started it, but at the moment time is particularly precious, so there will be fewer updates from now on. I will try to post at least three times a week. Thank you for your support. As always, comments, questions, suggestions or requests gratefully received.
In the meantime, here's a view of a hairdresser's shop, somewhere in the UK, circa 1910. Alas, no modern Street View because I don't know where the shop was or the name of the proprietor. Click to enlarge.
Old postcards from the early 20th century, compared to the same view shown on Google Street View today. The postcards come from my own collection. Almost all of them are from England, mainly showing West London, Middlesex, Surrey, Berks and Bucks. Click on the postcards to see enlarged versions. Street View images are the copyright of Google. Comments, questions or requests are welcome. If you repost my images on other websites (such as Facebook) please include a link to my original post.
