now and then......... by jantan

now and then.........

when we moved into our current house the previous owners had left behind a couple of old photographs of the surrounding area that must have been taken about a hundred years ago (???)
This is a photograph of one of those photographs showing the view from the side of our house, and the same view taken today.
what a great thing to inherit when you bought the house! I was looking at some old photos of my local town in the local paper yesterday - it's fascinsating! I keep thinking I'd like to build up a collection of old photos from my local area.

I've got some old photos of our town, perhaps at some point I should do something similar. It's great to pinpoint the changes - not too many in your case though. Lovely find :)

Oh, this is fantastic. Any picture of the Cotswolds is gorgeous, right? I must go back...

Does anyone have a thatched roof any more? I thought they lasted years and years (but I guess probably not as long as tiles). There's a lot to be said for underground power cables in newer suburbs. Thanks for sharing this.
