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.

Heston, Middlesex c1910
The horse trough has been moved a few feet away. Heston today:
Interesting view looking towards Norwood Green and before the war memorial was placed here. I remember the first house on the right. In the 1960s the owner had a new house built behind it and the old one was demolished. I went past there only this week {March 2011} to find the "new" house is now being demolished too.
