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.

A wonderful postcard, I am pleasantly surprised to see that the road still looks 'fairly rural'. I wonder what the occasion was for the flag to be flying? As for the chickens, free range is becoming more visible again.

I agree, there hasn't been much of a change which is very nice; yet it has peaked into modernism
