I've heard of individual houses being blacked out, but I don't know why half an entire road would be removed. It was definitely there when Streetview first went live, as (probably like most people) the first thing I looked at was my house.
You should complain about being discriminated for being removed.

We are on a cul-de-sac in the middle of nowhere and we are on there. I'm shocked.

When did the vans do this? I certainly never saw any.

Finland is in there too now, even all the little roads surrounded by forest (i.e. most of them).

Weird timing, the three main views of our house show old rendering, dude up on scaffolding having stripped it off and new rendering - seems the car moves about 20 yards a fortnight.

Ha, even my tiny little home town is on there. I'm surprised they bothered getting the boat over.

Are the large white arrows the only way to move up and down a road on Streetview? I ask as I see that they only move your view in 'blocks'. For example, from one position I can see one edge of my drive, so I move one 'block' to move to one side, then I can see the 'other' edge of my drive, yet I can never see down it (as the actress said to the bishop ............. ).

In a nutshell, aren't 'fine' movements allowed for anything other than panning/rotating the view?

Sat down next to the far fence that's definitely Shaggysheep; that's one of her favourite spots to sit.

Next closest is either Ginger or Ewenity most likely.

Nearest is Big Nose. Looks like it could have been taken on one of the days when most of them were in the bottom field but Big Nose had a girlfriend; on such days she stays with him and Shaggy when the rest go down the bottom :).

Wow, they've finally covered where I live (there is a bar that recently changed hands and name a few months ago and that is on Streetview). :)

Looks like they have been around here last summer, late May or early June by the looks.
They have been sneaking around very early in the morning, there is no-one about.
