    Went on my travels again today and snapped the Minories near the Old Square. I've blended the old image in with the current view and done half and half to show.

    Thanks Sue. What i really like about the old parts of the image is the workmen; they're doing hard labour work in trousers, shirt and tie; you won't see that nowadays!

    Margaret Street - Modern & Old Together

    Popped out again today to take a current shot of Margaret Street, Birmingham. I spotted the sand bagging image from the old photo's thread and hope no one minds me using it? I was going to post this under my Aston Road North thread but was advised to start new ones.

    Aston Road North - Modern & Old Together
