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.

Boscombe, Dorset c1910
I'm not sure what all the flags in this postcard are out for, but it may be have been Empire Day. Ths postcard was sent in October 1910. Click here for modern Streetview of this scene. Postcard published by Young & Co of Teddington.
Even though this card was posted in October 1910, it was actually taken during July 1910, the month that saw many streets and buildings decorated to help celebrate Bournemouth's Centenary. Boscombe is a suburb of Bournemouth.
