Historypin

From the Ingear section of today’s Sunday Times:-
“As with any digital advance, for every step forward by one company, there are dozens of smaller web outfits eager to enhance and customise the function. Historypin for example is a British partnership with Google that allows users to upload old photos of streets and buildings to create what it describes as a ‘digital time machine’. Call up a modern Street View shot and you can click on a building and drill down through its history, as seen in archive photographs enhanced by text reminisences from the people who worked in them.”
