House fire on Google Street View.

Originally, you could go past the burning house. However in 2008, the house owners requested Google to remove part of the streetview for privacy reasons.
What makes it even stranger is they've never got around to blurring out the house fire.
The house in May 2014.

That is pretty crazy that they caught that! :Blink: I hope that everyone was alright. I'm surprised that the house fire was put on streetview in the first place.

There used to be very old 1930's-40's? span wire concrete lampposts, they even had old lamps!

These signals remind me of the traffic lights in France. They look like knockoff 3M's.

Incandescent puffin crossing pedestrian signals and pushbuttons! This must've been an early design or beta testing of the Puffin Crossing! I think Maghull is the only puffin crossing to include incandescent puffin crossing pedestrian signals!
