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.

Laleham, Middlesex, All Saints Church c1912
Laleham, Middlesex, All Saints Church circa 1912. The church looks quite different without its ivy covering. Parts of the church date back over 800 years. Postcard by W. H. Applebee of Ashford.
I'm always so thrilled to see something that looks better now than it did decades ago.

ReplyDeleteWow, that is amazing, over here, we call a building old if it dates back just 2-3 hundred years!!!
