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.

Uxbridge, Middlesex, The Chiltern View Tavern c1906
Uxbridge, Middlesex, The Chiltern View Tavern c1906. It looks like a cycling club meeting, the cyclists all wear a cap with a badge on it. The Chiltern View Tavern is in a sorry state now, boarded up and unloved. I think it closed its doors for the last time in 2006. I'm sure it won't be long before it is demolished and the site used for more luxury flats. A more detailed view is shown below. Click the pictures to enlarge.

Luxury flats, eh? As usual, history doesn't stand a chance when there's money to be made.
ReplyDeleteHow very true.
ReplyDeleteA pub next to me called the Sawyers Arms in Lower Feltham built 1860 has now be demolished it’s heart breaking to see. Hounslow Council which lied like hell were supposed to send all the residents letters so they could have a chance to object and guess what those letters were never sent out and before we knew it the poor pub was gone in a day all that history gone
The chiltern view pub is now being turned into a house. The side of the building is now gone but they have extended it at the back.
