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.

Taplow Village, Buckinghamshire c1911

Taplow Village, Buckinghamshire circa 1911. Taplow is a village between Burnham and Maidenhead. Down the road we can see the marvellously named Oak and Saw pub, thankfully still there. One of those rare postcards where the modern view is just as pretty as it was a hundred years ago. The publisher is a little difficult to determine, the caption on the right saying 'Taplow Village' is classic Young & Co, but on the left there is faded text saying 'WHA 965', so this is likely a Young and Co republished by WHA.
