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.

Yiewsley Town Hall, c1930

Yiewsley is a town just north of Heathrow Airport. The town hall was built in the late 1920s and was used up until the 1950s. It stood almost opposite the Marlborough Cinema (later the Ritz). The town hall is now called Key House and is run by the Key House Trust. Postcard circa 1930 by an uncredited publisher. Click the postcard to enlarge.
