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.

Holloway Road, North London, Nags Head c1905
Holloway Road, North London, Nags Head c1905. This magnificent pub is in a sorry state now. In the Google Street View we can see it has become an arcade for fruit machines. Despite the bright colours it doesn't look very cheerful to me. The Nag's Head was well known and gave its name to the local area. This postcard was posted in 1906 and was probably published by Stengel & Co.
