Merry Christmas from the postcards then and now blog. Here is a wintry scene showing Teddington Bridge in a photograph taken by Richard Charles Young in late 1906. For more old views why not visit the Sepia Saturday blog. As always, click the postcard to enlarge.
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.

Merry Christmas, Howard.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Howard, and as I'm late in catching up, Merry Boxing Day! Wishing you all the best for the New Year and thanks so much for showing your beautiful collection of postcards.
ReplyDeleteI like the way he squeezed in the caption.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you as well...and what a lovely photo...a dreamy place to take a walk!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a walk here followed by a cup of hot chocolate.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Howard. I've thoroughly enjoyed seeing your then and now views. This one has me itching to take a hike.
ReplyDeleteSeason’s Greeting to you too. That’s a great picture but it makes me want to hurry home and and make a waming mug of cocoa!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lovely walk if you're wrapped up with wellies on :-) Jo
ReplyDeleteA fine seasonal choice, Howard, that I have put up for my Desktop image of the week. Best wishes for 2012
