Anyone else been exploring google maps this week? 
It seems the google 360deg spy vans visited here last summer. 
I hope your gardens were tidy. 
 
Anyway here is my favourite - it is a picture of the much missed Perry Vale pedestrian island.

Pretty dull I guess but it has sentimental value for me.

My house was being re-decorated externally so is clad in scaffolding. 
I hope the photos are updated periodically! 
Feeling nostalgic, l also had a look at the house I grew up in and my late grandparents' house. Both look rather uncared for-one even has an old bed base lying outside. 
Overall, a very disappointing experience for me sadly

2008 was a good year for Japanese knotweed:

PS I think you need to have flash installed for these images to show in their full glory.

Not me Stephen, i just spotted him while having a look around. 
 
I did see the googlemobiles once or twice but i can't remember where so maybe i'm on it somewhere but i didn't have the prescence of mind to make a rude gesture.

What could have been happening in Fairlie Gardens to have led to this?

Well not a lot judging from the adjacent images! 
 
A view straight into one of the houses perhaps?

People can ask to have their houses removed. There is a whole resevoir/golf course missing in Nunhead/Honor Oak.
