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.

Laleham, Surrey c1913

Laleham is a village on the Middlesex and Surrey borders close to Staines. This view is remarkably similar in the modern Google Streetview. In the centre of the picture you can see the sign for the Three Horseshoes pub, which will be featured in tomorrow's blog post.
