On google maps you could try taking a virtual trip down the road . . . While they don't always cover all the streets and roads, they do cover many. Just drag the little figure to the street you would like to view. This resource allowed me to see that my great-grandfather's house in Cardiff is roughly under the stadium, (at least I've been there, albeit in ages past) and that the section of Eastgate in Gloucester where I believe my gg grandmother lived and died is now a Starbucks . . .or some type of shop anyway. But it has given me, eighteen years from my last trip "home", sight of my beloved Boxtree Cottage and the orchards where my grandfather played as a boy . . .not quite as good as the real thing but satisfying in its own way. (Disconcerting though, I would have sworn the retaining wall and gate were much, much higher).
