This interesting site blends old photographs with Google Street View, to provide context to historical events, such as this picture of cyclists during the 1926 General Strike in the City of London. People are invited to download their own old photographs to create an interactive local "personal" history site, so start rummaging through your grandparents attic!
The site is created by "We are what we do" - which aims to encourage people to carry out simple ideas to benefit each other, such as spending more time with someone from a different generation. If you find any good ideas here worth sharing, let us know - there is a whole section devoted to schools, for example!
PS: Here are further comments from History Today.
