Chevington Drift Map Overlay

[Morph]

Here is the map overlay of Chevington Drift for use in Google Earth. When you open the .kmz file (extract it from the attached zip) it will show as a 'temporary place' inside Google Earth.

You can right click your mouse over the 'temporary place' and adjust it's properties. This is useful for seeing the current features underneath the overlay and viewing just how things have changed over the years.

Sadly there is nothing much left apart from the main road through the village, which is still evident today.

Both my Mam and Granda worked at the Coop at the Drift and I remember getting on the bus outside the miner's cottages (at least I think they were miner's cottages!) and also the post office. Can't have been much more than 6 or 7 at the time and it was all demolished a few years after that.
