Horsell on Google Streeet View

Take a look at Google Maps and discover Horsell on StreetView. You can wander the streets of Horsell and zoom in and out on the area.

It is interesting to work out when Google filmed here. On Wheatsheaf Common Carters Steam Fair vehicles are in situ. This puts the date to mid September. On the corner of Broomhall Common and the Brewery Cut footpath there is a bare tree stump but no amazing Pegaus carving so filming must have been before 2009. Church Hill is closed and there is a water company van on the village side. My best guess at the moment is September 2008.

This is certainly a fascinating way to look around the area. It is very much a street (or road view). As far as I can see none of the footpaths are covered through Horsell and you can't even take the route from Brewery Road car park to the town centre.

Sections were obviously filmed at different times. Check out a dry Brewery Road (in the main) but a very sodden High Street and surrounding roads.

Here's Brewery Road and the car park entrance.
