Call up the page again and look at the house with the blue car at the front. Zoom in on that front door and you will see the number 71 and the house on the right of it as you look is 73 so you definately have the right one.

You could also try Google Earth which would give you a view from directly above.

hth.

If you use GoogleMaps for the adress you should be able to get an on-street view of the road. When you have the right Google page come up click on the little clipboard that says 'street view'.

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&xhr=t&q=69+herbert+road+nottingham&cp=26&rlz=1R2GGLL_en&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&biw=1280&bih=796&wrapid=tljp1313667631265040&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl

Then you can navigate to see the actual house. Those properties are not new so I think you might be looking at the one your grandfather lived in.

I hope the links work.

possibly, although some streets can be re numbered if new houses have been built in spaces between properties .
