A note of caution. I would advise checking on Google Earth or something before taking an elderly relative to their childhood home. Long before computers and the web my mother was taken to see the house where she lived as a child - in quite a well-to-do area of Manchester. She was heartbroken to find it was now in multi-occupancy, with broken or boarded-up windows and the once immaculate gardens were a junk yard.
