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. There are also links to the modern equivalent on Street View. Street View images on this site are the copyright of Google.

Surbiton, Surrey, Berrylands Road c1922
Surbiton, Surrey, Berrylands Road circa 1922. In the centre of the postcard we can see the Paragon Arms pub, long since demolished. Postcard by Maycock / Johns of Tooting. Click the postcard to enlarge.
The parade of shops today is nowhere near as enticing as in the postcard. A wonderful postcard, as always I love the detail.
