Thanks Paul. Coming from London originally as I do, this site gives an insight into various things/places experienced by my ancestors. Ken.

it's Collage, not College! I'll try to put this in a way that gets round the system: http://collage(.)cityoflondon(.)gov(.)uk/search.htm

The Collage London one is great - views of roads where my rellies lived, churches where they were baptised/married, even costumes worn by people in their different occupations. Thanks! nell

I haven't seen mention of two websites which I find invaluable for researching London ancestors. The city of London's 'Collage' website (Google 'Collage London') has thousands of images from their collection... all superbly indexed. Motco-dot-com has images too plus fully searchable London maps from the Victorian and Georgian eras. Both these websites are a fantastic resource if you're researching London, but they both have images of places outside London too and plenty of international material. I've bookmarked them and I strongly recommend others to do the same.
