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.

Kingston, Surrey, Wyndham Road c1908

Kingston, Surrey, Wyndham Road circa 1908. Apart from the obvious cars, this pleasant road appears to have changed little in over a hundred years. The lack of street lighting must have made it difficult in the dark though. Postcard published by Young & Co of Teddington, click to enlarge.
