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.

Madame Jack, Court Dressmakers, Richmond Green c1915

Madame Jack's dressmaking premises shown in about 1915. Until recently the building was the offices of a property company. When they vacated it squatters moved in and vandalised the building. This is a shame because the interior retains many of its original architectural features.
