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.

Norbiton, Surrey, St Peters Church 1914
Norbiton, Surrey, St Peters Church 1914. St Peters was built in the early 1840s by Sir Giles Scott. The posters by the gates of the now defunct Liverpool Arms pub are interesting. There is a detailed view of them below the Google Street View. The top one advertises a show called 'Can You Beat This?' at the Kingston Empire on Monday 28th September 1914. Postcard by W. H. Applebee. Click the pictures to enlarge them.

the details in the adverts really make the postcard special, thanks for showing them zoomed in.
ReplyDeleteWow what a great shot of St Peters.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lisa B, the shot of the posters is somehow special. Seeing the old style fonts on reasonably fresh looking paper brings the past to life. Like I could jump right into it. The photos are always interesting, Howard.
