A slight break from posts about the council tarmacking over our green field sites for some pretty pictures.

This area has more than its fair share of budding David Baileys, as anyone visiting the photo sharing site Flickr will be aware. The Walthamstow group has over a 1,000 pictures to browse through, or alternatively you can search the whole site, for example find the “most interesting walthamstow pics“.

Some even add GPS information on where the photo was taken, allowing computer boffins to come up with ingenious sites like this one which displays a satellite image of the area with little thumbnails of all the photos taken.

Visit here for the Blackhorse Road satellite image.

You can zoom in to see more pictures, order it by newest taken, most popular or just check out whether anyone has randomly taken a picture of you putting the bins out in your nightie.

It also offers a large satellite view of the lovely green space where the council plan to put a large school so by all means send the developers some feedback on this and the housing development via their online questionnaire.

St Modwen Credit Crunched October 11, 2008
"It's Credity and It's OOOhhh SOOooo Crunchy", but if you're a 'brownfield land development specialist' its not especially tasty.Like lots of companies, which have to borrow heavily in order to make speculative investments, St Modwen are feeling the pinch.

One bit of River Lea saved from tower block hell September 25, 2008

Thanks! June 7, 2008
To everyone who came today - great turnout, bout a 100 i reckon, great to see residents and the library workers standing side by side and standing up for libraries, including those who came in to talk to central library users (who were very supportive).
