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.

Piddington, Buckinghamshire c1912

Another WHA postcard of a Buckinghamshire pub. Piddington is very near to West Wycombe. It is also very near Bradenham featured in yesterday's postcard. The pub is still there and is still called the Dashwood Arms. It looks like (November 2010) it has recently changed hands. Click the link for a view of Dashwood Hill today.
