I've just found the UK place images they've added - Francis Frith I think. Some 'wasted' hours browsing in the offing! However -just in case any Ancestry bigwig reads this - I still think their new look is unnecessary twaddle - whoever it's for.

I hate Ancestry's 'new look' but....

Hello Angela
I had the same problem - followed the advice I was given on here - go to your username and access the drop-down menu, where there should be an option to return to 'old Ancestry'. You should then get a message 'Sorry to see you go' and a brief list of why you're leaving the new experience. I just said I prefer to select and write my own version of events.
Hope that works

It's annoying when Ancestry have "new" records that are available elsewhere online, like Francis FrithThe National Archives, Kew – Research Service Offered

If you think they are not going to change to the " Improved View " I am afraid you will be disappointed , Remember the Old Search , that vanished the same as this present view will vanish . They do not listen to the fare paying customers .
It has been rolled out in the USA , UK next , I wonder if it has reached Australia yet ?

I don't know if I clicked on something inadvertantly but suddenly my Ancestry has changed to the new look mid session. And my immediate thought was why am I being presented with something that a 5 year old would find 'screen friendly'. The look is unappealing and to me unfriendly (and I can remeber computers before Windows came along!!!) I do not need a narrative added into the timeline of an individual about what the other family memebers where doing (birth, death marriage etc). I just want the facts about the person I am deal with.
I really hope ancestry a getting an earful about this piece of ..............!!!!!
