I had to look at the pics on my pc at home, remember them as best i could and drive out and take the exact pic…

Like i said before….Empty Dual carriageway @75mph…all the way there.

I didnt do bad at all on the Pub one below…

First pic is the pub in 1898…The second 3 or 4hrs ago…

DB

Here’s the Park…(If you know someone who collects those ‘Lilliput Lane’ minature houses they should recognise the thatched house)

First pic is today…the second is 1910…

DB

OP No.2 looks like most of my locals. Beer at £1 a pint, no customers and big “Lease for Sale” signs.

Sad, really.

...and the last lot until i go and take some more, later in the week !...

The first pic is 1919. The second is today…like i posted above, about 3hrs ago…

DB

Camel…

I bet that cunt looking out the window is still up there…

I was hoping for the ghost of a Salty ol’ fisherman to fly out…

Oh well…

DB

Heh. You silly sod. I’ll get my camera out, venture further than the off-licence and take some magnificent snaps for you.

And I promise not to call you again when I’m pissed-up.

Camel…

Thats ok…

I was as well when you called…

DB

Hey DB, do you have your own time machine or did you hire it from somewhere?

Humper…

I’m Doctor….????

DB

Here’s some more…

1st. 189? (couldn’t read the last number)
2nd. This morning
3rd. 1906 (my red car is the first you can see parked on the r/h side…where the crowd are standing)

The arrows are confirming the houses marked by their roofline, are still there.

DB

(and yes..thats my car in the pic with the lights on )

Interesting photos there DB. I’ve seen some old ‘uns of places not too far from my home. It had tram lines and looked very peaceful. Now it has 1000s of cars on it every day and no trams.

Not too sure about somewhere called BarFM. No wonder it’s boarded up. TC should start a campaign to abolish awful takeaway signs. What is it about kebab shops that they have to have such fucking garish signs ?

Hey Dr. DB, a friend of mine’s got the same car as you!!!

Whackaday….

You got to find some old pics of places you recognise are still there…then go back a take a quick pic of it today…

I’d be interested in seeing ‘Then & Now’....No matter where anyone lived…the older the better..

And where you live is still filled with old stuff that’s still there thay you’ll recognise…

Go take some pics when you got a bit of spare time…early in the morning, when no one is about…

I’d save your pics to my hard-drive…

Doing things like this is recording history for the next generation..and no one seems to be actually doing it…because they always think everyone else actually is !

Just go take the pics when your bored…

DB

Is it just me who thinks those places looked nicer in 1900’s etc.

Humper…

No worse than me having to drive this ‘courtesy car’ for a week…

DB

Here is an Image of the cemetery just 50 meters from my house, it’s quite sad really considering what used to be there.
