Looking At Your Town In 2008 Using The Google Street View Website

Jonathan1990

Google Street View let's you look at what everywhere looked like in 2008. A lot has changed where I live since then. They don't take photos down every road now though, just the main streets.

Church on Tuesday

I see.

Can't help, it's 2010 here and no change.

A few from Olde Athlone in 2009.

Was wondering why O'Neills had gone. Assumed it had been given permission to be knocked down and redeveloped but it's a really nice looking building so I was
surprised. Glad to hear it wasnt intentionally destroyed anyway.

It happened during the big freeze in December 2010 from what I remember. Yes it was a nice looking building.
