Some of you may like to know that Google Streetview now includes a time clock, much as Google Earth does. They have done UK streets 2 or 3 times now, e.g. 2011, 2013, 2015, and they now have a clock symbol on the left so you can wind back - at present of course only 2 to 4 years but that will extend, hopefully.

Some listmembers have derided G S as a geographical tool but there may be something here to interest academic researchers, e.g. you can monitor how many gardens have been paved over, a risk of urban flooding and detrimental to wildlife. Also, the road due east of Skipsea, E Riding of Yorkshire, ends at the eroding Holderness cliffs, you can clearly see the erosion between the 2 years on G S.

PS also updated historical changes now online at fooddeserts.org, part 5a and 5b (but no piccies here, sorry).
