Newcastle-under-Lyme

Anyone on here live there, and if so have you seen the Google Street-View cars around? The reason I ask is that I was born there, many moons ago, and have never been back. Just wondering if that in the near future I will be able to "visit" my old town and see how much it has changed.

my house is not on street view yet but I seen loads of street view cars in my area about 18 months ago, I should be on one of them unfortunatly :)

I heard that it takes about 2 years or so before the views actually get onto the site.

Cazzz, I forgot to ask; are you in Newcastle?

[cazzz1975]

Hi stewy, i live half a mile from Newcastle staffs, it has\'nt changed that much, different shops etc, the outside market is still there,it has a new cinema complex and all the town center is pedestrianised,what has changed is the amount of pubs there is in the town, it is a drinkers paradise now, people come from all over midlands just to drink there. Clayton has not changed at all.

Thanks, Marvel. We used to live on Stafford Crescent in Clayton. I see from the Google satellite view that the narrow field (with my favorite tree) is now paved.

narrow field behind our house, that is.
