Hindhead, Surrey, Post Office Corner c1905 - Sepia Saturday
Hindhead, Surrey, Post Office Corner circa 1905. The top postcard was published by Edward Gane Inge, a pharmacist and prolific postcard publisher from nearby Haslemere. By about 1910 he had moved to Norfolk and his pharmacy was sold to Wiles and Holman. The other postcard is clearly from the same negative and was published by W. H. Applebee in about 1912. It is probable that Applebee bought some of Inge's negatives when he moved to Norfolk. Sepia Saturday's theme this week is cars, but unfortunately my main image is not sepia and there are no cars. Fortunately the WHA is sepia, and the Street View has some cars!

It's interesting to see how much difference the addition of color makes. Sometimes the difference is huge, but not on this one.
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards and a splendid up-to-date image of the same scene. Welcome to Sepia Saturday. You don't have to stick to the theme and the images don't have to be sepia : don't worry you meet all the criteria - the images are old and the words are apposite.
ReplyDeleteOh I would so much rather lived there when it was a dirt road.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a place I'd love to visit!
ReplyDeletewell wonder where my first comment went before I'd finished....ahh. This is nice and I expect not many cattle roaming there now a days. You really matched up with Alan's prompt!
ReplyDeleteI have the same picture but by Inges dated 03/07/06 but in black and White apart from Red in the writing
