Streetview is far more confusing than that. One pass near the Swan in Sidmouth shows a little car park that as you move around reveals instead, a house. I remember both too.
And in St Ives, Cornwall the Barclays Bank can appear different at different visits and at different qualities. I put this down to the Google servers that may be on line/accessed at any moment, or the chronic BT Broadband that varies in speed, so the resolution of the images changes and hence their dates.
Has anyone ever seen a Google Mapping Car? I saw it 3 years ago going into the car park behind our doctors', I have photos. And even the Apple Wagon, came right up to my kerb and reversed out (a cul de sac). I knew what it was from the 4 lidar and cameras, but had to Google it (ha) to see it as Apple. They are both on my pictures of my town in 2017 (scroll down) - you can tell I carry a 20X zoom camera pretty much all the time.
