Hand-tinted postcard of a street scene; large tree to the left, lane running away in the centre, white-painted corner shop to the right, with other buildings lining the lane. Several people in Edwardian dress stand in front of the shop, one with a bicycle.
Photograph taken in 2025 of the scene from the postcard; the same tree to the L although it's winter so it has no leaves, the same lane (now a road) running away in the centre, lined with houses; the same white-painted corner shop, now with bright blue signage and paint to the ground floor. No people!
It's a month since I checked in here, but I've been busy with my #OnePlaceStudy #Genealogy and #LocalHistory. I had fun recreating this Edwardian postcard of Meeting House Lane in #BalsallCommon #Berkswell #OldnallEnd. Amazing how much remains the same 120 years later!
