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.

Hi Don, My Great Grandparents lived there on the 1911 Census too. They were William Henry Packer and Frances his wife. My Grandfather was the youngest of their 9 children, Montague John Packer. We must be related!
Ho Don, I have just read your comment and my Great Grandparents also were listed as living there in that the 1911 Census! Their names were William Henry Packer and Frances Packer. My Grandfather was their youngest child Montague John Packer. We must be related. Wondering which child you are from.
This corner looks as if it actually improved over time. I wouldn't mind going for a walk there.
ReplyDeleteI like the postcard you have created, this is the nice and simple postcard and looks attractive too.
