Obtaining Google Street images

Using your browser go to Google Earth to find a location and then drag the Street View man symbol to a particular position on a road to see historical Street View images. Tap on See More Dates to see all the available historical images for the location and select the one you are interested in.

Adjust the boundaries of the display panel so that the image is slightly taller than it is wide. 

Tap Print on your browser and select a printer of PDF to create a PDF copy in A4 portrait. You may have to adjust the scale so that the whole screen, including the Dates selector bar, showing the year captured, appears in the print Preview. Then tap OK to create the PDF.

If you are saving more than one image for a street for the same year you should number the images like this:

2008 Google StreetView - Strand - image 1.pdf 

2008 Google StreetView - Strand - image 2.pdf 

Note: Street View images are taken by the Google car. Google Earth also gives access to photographs of selected locations contributed by named Google users and uploaded to Google but such photographs do not have the same evidential value as Street View images because, for example, the month and year shown is generally the month/year they were uploaded which may not be the month/year when they were actually taken, and in some cases they might not even be photographs of the location they are associated with.
