  1. #1

    Ninian Park is still on Google Streetview

    Next home game v Ajax on Aug 1, so must be from 2008.

    The CCS is still being built across the road.

    If you go past the stadium either way the houses are there. Quite like that it is still there

    It’s great that Ninian is still there but makes you wonder why when you scroll past it either way, you get the latest images?

    I wonder who used to play there. I guess we'll never know. Secrets.

    Assuming these all get archived somewhere it will be very interesting for future generations to go street to street decades into the past. Probably on some vr headset.

    It says June 2008 on the Google image on the tab on the left so you are right.

    I wonder if google could keep previous versions of street view / google earth accessible moving forward.

    Imagine how great that would be in 50 years time, I can imagine a old man showing his grandchildren the street he grew up on and where he walked to school, the nostalgia and memories would be priceless,

    Your computer must be at least 13 years old if it's showing Ninian Park. You may need to upgrade.

    If you follow the road to the main car park behind the Ninians stand you get to go past the stadium with the neil warnock picture on the stadium. Then all of a sudden you get Ninians park with the grandstand of Ninian park half way being demolished.

    My house in Llanishen is November 2020

    The house I lived in as a kid in the Heath is May 2012 Doesn't seem much rhyme or reason when they take the views

    I think in the early days Google street view only did the main roads. Later on they filmed more side roads aswell.

    It already does do that. If you click the little clock in the top left of the screen it brings up a timeline with a slider and you can see previous street views. Google started SV in 2007 so in a lot of places you can go as far back as then.
