Any google earth experts? Recent Oswestry fire

[oobster]

Folks,

The fire last night in Maesbrook, Oswetry that possible claimed the lives of a family - i'm trying to locate the house on google earth without success.

BBC News website says the house is "situated off the road between Maesbrook and Knockin" but i've scanned the entire road and I can't see any house that matches the helicopter footage shown on the BBC News website, or the telegraph site.

No real reason for knowing, just bored and thought i'd have a look.

Anyone assist?

[snorkel sucker]

surely it wont be there anymore...

How old is the house?

Are those shops that I can see in Knockin?

Have to say it is very mysterious an quite creepy this story.

Horses in the stable shot and/or burned to death. Pissed off neighbour?? Gangland?? Drugs??

Lots and lots to this story.

Google Earf isn't a live feed.
Some of their stuff is months, even years, old.

Found it, the google image is a bit old, the lake in the video seems quite new, its not there on google.

Not a clue why you want this but The Wood, Maesbrook, Oswestry, SY10 8QU

Both GoogleMaps and GoogleEarth are pretty clear, to my befuddled eyes anyway.

Cheers - I had spotted that when I was scanning the maps, but I wasn't sure that was it.

Aye, just intrigued to find out what happened - have the whole family done a bunk? Has the dad gon mad and torched the place, then done a bunk himself? Or was this a burglary gone wrong, etc etc etc - too many possible stories for this one & I guess everyone will just need to wait & see.

Got a funny feeling this one won't be solved though.

Or will it?

Dun, dun, dun!

Won`t get solved?

PH`ers are on the case don`t you know.

I'm not sure they've done a bunk, I mean why burn down your house when you can just buy three canoes?

Likely dead I'm afraid...
