After reading this article and taking part in it I thought it would be nice to put it on here and share .... :-) :-) :-)

If you love old photographs or you want to know what was happening in your area or a relatives area 100 years ago, visit www.historypin.com
This great website enables people to upload photos and match them to the exact location on Google Street View. The old image is superimposed onto the current view, giving a window into the post. The project is ongoing and aims to become the worlds largest user generated archive of historic images and stories. You do not have to add photos to search the site and there is no cost to register...


Hope you enjoy :-) :-)
