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.

Knaphill, Surrey, High Street c1909

Knaphill, Surrey, High Street circa 1909. The High Street is more built up now of course. The Crown pub is still there on the left. I don't know who the publisher of this postcard was but there is what looks like a small 'BD' in the bottom right which may give a clue. The postcard was sent from Pirbright army camp to Quebec in June 1909. Click to enlarge. Also see this old postcard of Knaphill here.

Is That A Pub In The Top Left? If So, Still There I See!
