My house has been around for 300 years, no pics.

Fail.

I was going to check this out until you posted it and made it uncool.

They don't have the full archive online yet. In fact, they reckon it'll take them several years, there's so much of it. Give it time, it might show up

One thing I noticed last night is that the map search is a bit borken: for example, zooming in on Liverpool and searching will just give a "Sorry, nothing yet" message. However, typing the place name ("Liverpool", for those with brief attention spans) into the Gazeteer box will give loads of results. Also, places that did give results via the map search (mainly in the Home Counties, unsurprisingly enough) gave additional results via Gazeteer search.

Play with it - it's good fun, and you may even find your place in the "Nobody knows where the hell this is" gallery
