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.

High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Daws Hill Lodge c1912

High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Daws Hill Lodge c1912. Postcard by W. H. Applebee. The lodge is still there. It is the entrance to a park that used to be called the Marquis of Lincolnshire's Park. I wonder if the tiny fir tree is the same as the one that stands there now. Click to enlarge.
