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.

Chertsey, Surrey, Guildford Street c1907
Chertsey, Surrey, Guildford Street circa 1907. Postcard by Richard Young of Teddington. Click the postcard to enlarge.
It's surprising how streets in 1907 were more dirt than pavement, but still well swept. I'm happy to discover you are still posting, Howard. I was beginning to think you'd run out of postcards!:-)
