A side note to the above link, the street view is quite recent, but if you zoom out to the original satellite view, you will notice the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway is not actually there! It must have been taken a good few years back.

THe EVR is there on Google Earth. It looks like a linear forest and was taken about 2000. Where I live you can see my van outside my house - and I retired seven years ago.

The Streetview was probably taken last Summer. I live near there and you can see my builder and his van, with the chimney stack freshly pointed.
