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.

Grasmere, Cumbria c1920
Grasmere, Cumbria c1920. Grasmere is a particularly pretty village in the heart of England's Lake District. Formerly in Westmorland, it is now part of Cumbria. As you can see from the postcard it has changed little in the last ninety years. The Lamb Inn at the Red Lion on the right is a good place to stop for a pint of Hawkshead Lakeland Gold after a hard day's walking (though there are a couple of other excellent pubs in Grasmere too). The postcard is credited but I cannot make out the publisher's name. Click the postcard to enlarge.
