As the Street View team at Google have now made numerous visits to Larne over the years, the images they captured are available as a fascinating way to reel back the years showing how this part of the world has changed between every visit.
While the technology clearly has practical uses, the historical value of the images captured by Google increases with each visit. Never before have we been able to view 360 degree panoramas of the Larne area as it continually evolves.
We hope you enjoy our trip down memory lane as we take a tour of Larne town centre to see how much has changed since the first time those Google cameras came to town!
