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.

Wandsworth, South West London, All Saints Church circa 1906. This is an early postcard by Young & Co of Teddington, signed RCY for Richard Charles Young. It is interesting how the church tower has changed. Click the postcard to enlarge.

Since churches were so often photographed, they offer an interesting timeline of architectural changes. I like the way we also know the time of day in both the photo and Google Street View.

The reason the tower is different is due to a WWII bomb...
