This is a great new website from Google based on Streetview.
There was a facinating article in the Sunday Times at the weekend about it. As yet no Hertford, so...
Peter Ruffles - this is made for you![:)]

Looks great Arty, I can't wait to see some pics of Hertford.
Have you still got those ones you took before the war? [;)]

I am sure Peter would if he knew how to.........he does not even downlaod from his digital camera just gets a new meomry card each time one is full. The if we need to share something for the Oral History Group he lends the card to me.[:D]
The other person who has an great archive of even older slides is Baden Browne they were left to him by a former teacher (can't think of his name) but they are slides not digital.

They were published in the 1946 edition of The Illustrated London News - along with one of your etchings. Really brought your intricate linework to life, Dennis.

Is anything in the Oral History group in new media i.e MP3, and can it be borrowed?
Can Baden Browne be pursuaded to digitise the collection you mentioned for a wider, 2010, online audience?

You are joking it is all on cassette tapes at the moment we are hoping to get some new members who have the knowlede to transfer it for us...........
No idea about Baden Browne but have seen his slide shows which are great, he is involved in the museum so they may know, the Oral History tapes will be avaliable to listen to in the museum once it is all sorted. At the moment we are trying to find extra help to transcribe them as well. We only have 7 members at the moment and all with busy lives so it is finding the time.
