Love looking at old photos of my home city so thought we could have a thread to post such images. Always amazes me that whilst people, clothing, vehicles etc change with time many of the old buildings survive through the times.

Before anybody asks, that’s not me on the crossing!!

Not just LCC. Must have been weird philosophies driving post war urban planning. A lot of city centres were ‘redeveloped’ and have never recovered. Think most new city centre projects now look minging as well.

Postcard from 1912 taken about 200 metres away from where we now live. Tbh, hasn't changed a vast amount over the years. Pretty much all of the buildings are still recognisable and the main difference is the more modern suburban rail link.
