The house that you (mostly) grew up in

[ynot]

Yeah it always looked quite an impressive roof. Here is another angle, it was only a 2 bedroom council house. But it was quite nice to live in.

[paulo13]

Lived here (with the bed clothes hanging over the balcony) for most of the first twenty years of my life. It had some trees and greenery outside at least.

[Unlucky]

Parents still live there so no.

[Im_On_Safari]

Lived here until I was 11. Then we had to move when my dad died. Worth mad bunse now

[rob.orch]

Here’s where I grew up. My dad never did any DIY or repairs at all, or rather he would refuse to pay anyone to do any and never get around to any himself.

also, why has google blurred the bins?!?!?

[zanimos]

Google street view is genuinely great. I haven’t been back to the city I grew up in for 30 years. A while back i was wondering if i should visit but just took a little journey around the neighbourhood on streetview and totally got that out of my system.

[rob.orch]

Actually. maybe it’s the numbers.

Anyway, looking back, now I can see why I didn’t think my student accommodation was that bad when everyone was telling me it was terrible (yes, it is the one with the boarded up windows, although they weren’t boarded up when I was living there)

The Google streetview van obviously couldn’t be arsed to go any further:

It looks a little bit like this though

[GuyIncognito]

I’ve known four friends who all lived on Viaduct Road in different houses and all of them had at least one broken/boarded up window.

I also viewed a property there a few years ago which had a whole the size of a football in one of the walls.

[profk]

the window that juts out and the one either side of it. think some yuppies moved in and put that sign outside the door.

[suapth]

Lived in this house from the age of 8 to 21, it isn’t on street view but found this picture of it from the early 2000s on another site. That’s my football goal in the yard which I got for a 10th/11th birthday I think, and my bedroom window is the top left.

[Ruffers]

The left side of that semi detached. Was my grandparents so originally 6 of us in there + 2 cats. Now just Auld Ma Ruffs That building on the far right was my primary, was quite useful being able to stroll out of the house at five to nine.

That attic rooms looks like it would be nice

[Ruffers]

Fond memories of my teenage sister falling through the attic (onto a bed luckily) when trying to hide booze

Then I was let loose upon the world.

[Petagno]

Can’t get a great angle on street view annoyingly…

Obviously that’s not the actual house I grew up in as I’m not an Austrian Prince. My folks bought a wrecked bungalow on some farm land for £11k, then many years later sold it to a developer who knocked down the bungalow, built ^that on it and sold it for £2.5m In fairness, despite the place constantly being on the verge of falling down, it was a great spot to grow up on - we were on an acre of land and surrounded by woodland and fields. Bit Wuthering Heights in the wintertime though…

[colinfilth]

Where I lived from 7-13. We were the first people to live in this house.

Two of my homes aren’t on streetview. My next house after that one has presumably been removed on request (it was that type of village). My current house they don’t bother driving the van round my road, possibly because the house fronts are too near the road.

[japes]

helped my dad build that fence (ie got in the way when he built it). the gate broke within a week, nice to see it’s still hanging there 25 years later. doesn’t look like it ever got painted after it first went up either.

Think that’s a roof m8?
