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.

Another great contrast Howard. It's interesting that Google's Streetview now tosses up little business "signs" not unlike the signage in 1914.

The High Street back then looks so much 'healthier' economically than high streets nowadays. The whole shopping experience always looks very 'rich' (in terms of varieties etc) and interesting.
