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.

Sunningdale, Berkshire c1912

The caption says 'Bagshot Road, Sunningdale', but this is now in London Road. I'm not sure if this road was originally called Bagshot Road or if the postcard publisher made a mistake, they frequently did. The building at the end is now a Rolls Royce car showroom. Obviously quite an upmarket area. Postcard published by W. H. Applebee.
