Photo request please, Potters Bar
« on: Friday 26 August 11 03:38 BST (UK) »
My elderly mother-in-law emigrated to New Zealand in 1951. She has recently been unwell and I have been trying to gather together some information and photos about people and places which she would remember from her life back in England.

Would it be possible for someone to email me a photo of a house, assuming it is still standing, at 6 Wentworth Close, Potters Bar?  This was her home before she came to NZ.

Many thanks,
Esther

Hi Esther, if you go to Google Maps and enter the full address ie 6, wentworth close potters bar, you will see the house still standing, and very nice it looks!

Esther, I forgot to add the next stage is to go to "Street View" where you get a beautiful picture of the house with 3 cars outside.

Are you sure that is the right house? Google maps tells me the address is approximate and the number looks like 4 above the door. Is it a 6? I can't see clearly.

No I can see 6 to the left. Thanks, I didn't even think of Google maps.
