This website looks like it will be a lot of fun and a valuable resource in the future.
Basically the website is looking for anyone with old photos in the attic to dust them off scan them into the computer, and "pin" them on the map to share with everyone. You can even add a story to the photo with details of who is on it/when it was taken.
The picture is then linked to google maps so you can compare the old and new.
Not much for Tameside yet but I guess that is down to us to fill it up. It is easy to use I promise and the more we add the more interesting it will become.
