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.

Walthamstow, St James Street, North East London, c1912
Walthamstow, St James Street, North East London, c1912. The modern Street View is surprisingly similar.
This one is particularly interesting, because there are so many little changes. You could sit down and make a long list of them. I like the old street lamps, though I'm sure they don't illuminate as effectively as the ugly modern ones.
