“Before” and “After” – drag the vertical slider left & right to reveal/hide what’s underneath

100 years between these two photographs taken down on Barnstaple’s Strand, but with the exception of disappearance of the building nearest to the camera on the right – the old fish market – not really a lot of difference between them at all

84 Barnstaple High Street, Then & Now. They don’t *quite* make shopfronts like they used to, eh?

This Then & Now slider of Pilton Street uses the same “now” modern photograph as yesterday’s upload, which you can see here: Pilton Street #1. A few years have passed, we’ve moved onto motorised vehicles and there’s plenty of architectural changes to pick out. Hope you find it interesting.   JP.

Pilton Street, given the Then & Now Slider treatment. I was in two minds whether or not to upload this one as it’s not quite right, the church isn’t perfectly lined up, which is really annoying. But I actually really like it regardless, what a beautiful area packed with history.  JP.

A Then & Now slider looking up Newport Road from the Bottom of Victoria Road. Another one that I really like (but then, I only upload ones that I like, I have deleted scores of attempts at various scenes that didn’t quite make the grade!). The chimney in the old photo belonged to Barnstaple Foundry, also known as Rafarel’s Iron Foundry – you can read more on the history of the foundry at the excellent Graces Guide  JP.

This old photo of Queen Anne’s Walk down on The Strand is one of my favourite old Barnstaple photos. Obviously I couldn’t resist giving it the “Before & After” treatment, and I think it works really well as a Then & Now slider. Hope you like it too!  JP.

This old photo of a group of people seemingly about to set of on a coach trip works – in my opinion – really well as a “Then & Now” slider. I really like it when there’s vast changes in between the two photographs, but with a chunk of architecture remaining the same in both the Then and the Now. Don’t really get a better example of that than this composite. Even managed to line up the brickwork around the doorway for you. 😉 JP.
