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.

Southall, Middlesex, High Street c1910

Southall, Middlesex, High Street circa 1910. The view looks surprisingly similar today. The buildings on the right have gone though. The Red Lion Hotel, a grade II listed building from the late 18th or early 19th century is still in business. Postcard by Young & co of Teddington. Click to enlarge.
