Title: Is the house still there? COMPLETED
Post by: gaygirl on Sunday 17 November 13 04:08 GMT (UK)
Family lived at 70 Nelson St.in Petone  in 1901 and when I searched on Google earth there appears to be a big truck in front of this address.  I would like a photo of the house for my family history scrapbook.

Does this house still exist or is it like other properties in this street that appear to be businesses.

Any info would be great thanks.

Thanks for that Janette - I could only see a few metres of roof line on the google earth shot.

just make sure the house numbers havent changed over the years as they do! another way to get a photograph, look up property for sale!  doing this, I found my family has sold there home in Auckland without telling me!! If I was nearing I would check it out for you, but am over the Rimutaka!

Are you talking of a house in England?

The house was in Petone, NZ and I have a photo that a kind Rootschatter took for me so I will just believe that is the right house.

Thanks  Gay
