Postcards Then and Now

Old postcards from the early 20th century, compared to the same view shown on Google Street View today. The postcards come from my own collection. Almost all of them are from England, mainly showing West London, Middlesex, Surrey, Berks and Bucks. Click on the postcards to see enlarged versions. Street View images are the copyright of Google. Comments, questions or requests are welcome. If you repost my images on other websites (such as Facebook) please include a link to my original post.

Bedfont, Middlesex, c1910

Bedfont is very near Heathrow Airport. These old postcards were published by Young & Co of Teddington. It is interesting that the land in the right foreground has never been built on. Just past the parade of shops is Bedfont Tabernacle (see below)
