Tucked away off of Church Lane in the middle of Barnstaple’s town centre – Horwood Alms Houses. Here’s a Then & Now composite of them… Never particularly easy taking these photos when you’ve got buildings so close either side, but I think it’s just about OK …. I hope you like it!

An aerial photograph of Barnstaple from 1946, compared with a modern day view. Lots of differences to pick out – some a lot more glaring than others! 🙂
36 Boutport Street.
A vintage image of 60 Boutport Street – Then The Queen’s Hotel, now Poundland.
Rose & Crown pub at the top of Newport Road. No longer a pub, unfortunately.
Short clip from the BFI of a train going over the old railway bridge in 1898, passing through the old Barnstaple town station.
Quite fascinating to see moving pictures from very nearly 120 years ago. Plenty of architecture still recognisable today!
Then & Now composite of the fountain on Barnstaple’s Square.
