Photos by warren pary : on the map, in Google Earth (KML)

Hi Warren

Photos do not automatically appear in Google Earth - they are reviewed on a rolling basis, and those selected are uploaded to Google Earth about once a month. The next update will be around the middle of January. Look for a little blue compass icon appearing on the thumbnails in your gallery, which means that that image has been selected for Google earth. To be selected, images need to be mapped, titled and above a certain size, be (generally) of outdoor subjects, and of scenery rather than portraits. As a guide, in my gallery there are about 190 photos, and about 180 have been selected for Google Earth... find out all you need to know by clicking here to see the Panoramio help and FAQ guide. For what it's worth I'd say all your pictures would probably be accepted except the ducks... but I could be wrong.

Have fun

Since I was told to catch up with the times 8 months ago, precisely nothing has happened to the site. If you check out the planning permission for this building, it'll be pretty much decimated by the planned development, so I shouldn't get too attached to it... to be honest, I have no great love of the building, I just wish something could be done for it.

As to regeneration, must everything be demolished before we start? The town is looking even more like a wasteland that it did previously... I realise we're all waiting for Tesco to come and save our backsides, but surely there must be other avenues available?

It's good to see the development for the sheltered accomodation starting at Anchor Bridge, but unless we get some councillors who don't have 'property of Tesco' stamped on their foreheads' I fear it'll just be same-old same-old. I see building going on in Pleck less than 12 months after the demolition of their monstrosities; over four years here and pretty much nothing to show...

That's about right; older maps of the area show the woodland stretching right the way from home farm to the canal. There's still a tiny copse - the remainder of the wood you speak of - just off the track to the farm.

Sadly, like much woodland and hedgerow, it was lost to the agricultural policies of the 70's. A sad loss indeed.

Looks really bustling for 1pm on a Tuesday... heaven help us.

now demolished and barely a trace of the many years of life that were spent there.

its amazing how over grown the railway line has become in 25 years.

some nice Bream reside near the bridge. looks like it was acracking day.
