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.

Brill, Buckinghamshire, The Square c1912
Brill, Buckinghamshire, The Square circa 1912. Brill is a small village in the west of Buckinghamshire. The war memorial you can see in the Google Street View obviously does not appear in the pre-WW1 postcard. The tall building just left of centre has been replaced at some point. This postcard was published by W. H. Applebee, and although it does not feature his usual WHA number on the front, WHA is printed on the back.

I guess they also added some small barriers to prevent people from driving across the grass and knocking over the memorial. The memorial is a nice improvement. Blue cars seem to be popular in Brill.
