time line from google maps
We used our Google maps time line to make sure that the pages on our web site were in the correct order.
Hyperlinks in green have been added to make it easier to navigate around our site.
You will find that some of the entries in the time line are still grey because they are not linked to pages as they are purely reminders for us and there may not be a page for that memory.
Just click on the green link/page that you would like to go to.
