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.

Peckham High Street, Southeast London, c1908
Peckham High Street, Southeast London, circa 1908. Only the buildings on the right have partially survived. Postcard by Albert Flint of Camberwell. Click the postcard to enlarge.
Compared with some of the 'now' views, 'partially survived' is good. Fantastic postcard.
ReplyDeleteWe went into The Red Bull in August 2021. It has changed its name but still has the amazing tiled scene of Henry 5 on its wall. Peckham Steve
