Faversham, Kent, Ospringe Road circa 1908. On the left of this first postcard, by Arthur Filmer of Faversham, we can see the Faversham Arms, now a private house. The house has retained the pub's etched glass windows. The pub was tied to Rigdens brewery. Shepherd Neame is now the last remaining brewer in Faversham. The second postcard, a coloured view by Miltons of London E.C., shows a close-up of the pub. The final postcard, in the Bells Series, shows the road from the bottom of the hill looking up. This postcard is a little later, circa 1920.

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.

How interesting! The last card makes me wonder if wayward cars don't occasionally make a surprise entry into living rooms on Ospringe Road.
