History Pin 06/09/2010

Dan Slee has mentioned a couple of times recently how much he likes History Pin and, as with most things, it slowly worked its way into my brain as something to check out when I had the time.  I liked the idea, which is that you can add photos to a Google Map against a period in time, but had quite lazily thought that I didn’t really have any photos of great historic interest.

Then I remembered that time a tornado hit my house.
