South Harrow Then and Now

THEN AND NOW
Page 1

A series of pictures now follows showing how places looked in years gone bye, followed by a photo taken by Paul Turner in as near a corresponding position as it was possible to get.
Please bear in mind some of the dangerous places Paul put himself into
But they are here and thanks to Paul, for us all to enjoy.
Should you feel that you would like a particular photo, for example where you used to live, then please contact me, and I will arrange it for you.
Syd.

Archive work continues whenever a familiar view is revisited. These paired photographs are kept here so that today’s residents can compare the ordinary details—shop fronts, road edges, trees and public buildings—with the scenes remembered by earlier generations.
