Locating my old haunts in Google Street View

I was quite excited to hear of Google's new 'Street View ' feature in Google Maps as I'm interested in finding out more about the places my family have lived.

I found the house and street in which I grew up (99 Brightside Road, SE13 6EP), the house having been built in 1952 by my grandfather, father and uncle. It was great tracing my walking route to primary and secondary school (although neither school is actually pictured, presumably for privacy reasons, which seems fair enough) and amazing to see the changes that have happened through the development of modern houses and flats on the site of the old Hither Green Hospital.

I also found one of the houses I lived in when at University (98 Fleet Street, Swansea).

But my main interest is in looking at sites of the homes of my grandparents and more distant ancestors - although the likelihood of their surviving, particularly in central London, is probably quite slim.
