Cheam, Surrey, The High Street c1908
Cheam, Surrey, the High Street, circa 1908. In the old postcard you can see in the middle distance on the left the Harrow Inn. It looks 17th century to me. The High Street looked very rustic. Cheam's High Street was redeveloped in the 20th century. There is still a Harrow Inn, it is in the middle of the Google Street View. It has the 'Mock Tudor' style that used to be very popular.

Great postcard. The now view is one of those that you would never guess was the same place.
ReplyDeleteGood to see you posting again :)
Thanks Lisa, I hope to be posting more postcards again after a little hiatus
DeleteLovely pic. I used to drink in The Harrow before its awful refurb in 2000.
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, I'm not 100% sure it's Cheam/The Harrow in the pic. I'm only basing my assumption on the knowledge that the crossroads just beyond the pub were in pretty much the same position that they are now. More than likely it is Cheam, just my perspective that's a little off.
Either way, as I say, cracking pic.
Thanks Filmplop, I will post a close-up of the Harrow Inn from the postcard in the next few days.
DeleteThere's a bit on the council website that helps explain things a bit. The current Harrow only dates from 1933 and is in a slightly different spot to the old one. I'm not exactly sure what they mean by "behind"

A fine photo with the pair of prams and milk wagon adding great period quality. And nice to have you back too, Howard.
