Levisham, Near Pickering, North Yorkshire c1910
Levisham, Near Pickering, North Yorkshire circa 1910. Levisham is a village to the north-east of Pickering, on the southern edge of the North Yorkshire Moors. The village appears to have changed little in the last hundred years. The building at the end of the road is the Horseshoe Inn, thankfully still in business. Postcard published by J. W. Malton of Pickering. For more old pictures visit Sepia Saturday.

These two scenes are remarkably similar. I think it's the lack of kerbing that gives it place much the same feel as it did a hundred years earlier.
ReplyDeleteHorses and cows replaced by cars and a tarmaced road.I know this road and the Horseshoe Inn from 20 years ago.
ReplyDeleteGreat old card.
I love that google map. Great fun to find an old building still in it's place.
ReplyDeleteLovely image. The Horseshoe Inn looks well worth a visit (for research purposes of course) Thanks for the tip-off,
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how similar it still is. It would be rather nice to have animals grazing on the grass.
ReplyDeleteHow neat is this! And to see all of the same buildings all still standing, the green lawns lighting it up in the modern photo. I love photo comparisons like this! And to find places still standing.
ReplyDeleteLevisham and nearby Lockton are on my "Places to Visit". It is where my family originated from in the 16th. and 17th. centuries.
ReplyDeleteAs for as the Pub is concerned my Sister and her husband were there a couple of weeks ago and can vouch for it.
It really hasn't changed much. I wonder if they still allow horses and cows on the lawns.
ReplyDeleteCows and horses replaced by telephone poles! Somehow I think I prefer the livestock - as long as there were still electricity. One of these days I will have to make peace with the poles.
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of the North York Moors, looks like a lot of (beautiful) heath!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting always to see the then and now photos.
ReplyDeleteCharming in both cases. I'd be very interested to know why no trees, shrubs or flowers were planted in front of the houses.
ReplyDeleteAh this reminds me of my post about the North York Moors Railway.I remember Pickering well.
ReplyDeleteWow, amazing....not much has changed...except what may be on the bottom portion of the photo?! Probably no horses grazing!
ReplyDeleteNice To See That The Line & The Original Landscape Have Been Respected Over The Years.
ReplyDeleteThe sepia photo card would fun to colorize to get the green. A very military designed village. Nice to see the red phone box still survives.
