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.

Wembley, Middlesex, Presbyterian Church, c1911

Wembley, Middlesex, Presbyterian Church, c1911. The old church still has a religious function, it is now Central Mosque Wembley. Having been vacant for many years the Presbytarian Church was converted into a mosque in the mid 1990s. Interestingly, the building next door looks very middle-eastern with its domes. It is now the Muslim Welfare Association. Postcard by Young and Co of Teddington. Click the postcard to enlarge.

An amazing contrast and it would be hard to find a better example of Britain's change into the 21st century. Is that the postman walking away from the camera? That's one occupational uniform that seems to never change.
