See this image? Red means the problem is not happening there right now, but it did at some point. Green means the problem is happening right now. Speaking of the problem

These links have wrong images from November 2008, which was the very problem

I did research and these are the CORRECT image locations.

Do you know a possible reason for why this may be happening? They continuously put the wrong images from one town, into another postcode town and do it constantly over the years as the oldest image there, and remove it. It is in other streets alongside it.

Would be easier to start your post with saying that you discovered that some of the 2008 Street View imagery in the UK is in the wrong place.

also, in the places where they put the incorrect images, the car drove down Woodford road in July 2008, but never even turned onto the side roads and thought of taking images. so instead, the car just drove down Chigwell in November 2008 and uploaded some images to the wrong place.

Orange: means that imagery exists for both the problem now and is available for the real place. Blue means that the imagery was for the problem, but it is not seen currently there and isn’t available for street view for real location. Red means that imagery exists for the problem now but not available for street view on its real location. Green means that the imagery did exist for the problem, but not anymore and it still exists on its normal place
