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.

Camberwell Green, South London, c1913
Camberwell Green, South London, circa 1913. Still a busy area. Postcard by Johns of Tooting. Click the postcard to enlarge.
Fantastic detail. Very nice that the pram is crossing the street at the time. With the tram lines and horses, you can see the streets were not hazard free.

ReplyDeleteA super image of city life. The seated man in the center looks like a porter with a handtruck carrying a tea chest.
ReplyDeleteThe images are pretty fine, really seems an expert's touch. Looking forward for some more images.
