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.

It looks like there may be some elegant hats in that first photo. Nice top hat in any case. I wonder what they would think of today's hats.
ReplyDeleteWonderful postcard.
ReplyDeleteAnother picture with people almost in motion. The policeman seems ready to put a stop to the photographer's intrusion.
