Barnstaple Square – Then & Now


Litchdon Street & Penrose Almshouses – Barnstaple Then & Now
Interesting Then & Now composition using an old photo taken during the widening of Barnstaple’s Queen Street. If you’ve ever been in the Olive Branch and wondered why it’s long & thin – here’s why. Well, you’ve probably never wondered why The Olive Branch is long & thin – but now you don’t need to. 😉
A “Then & Now” slider composition of Newport Road, Barnstaple
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
Fantastic image from 1881, Barnstaple High Street after the region was hit by particularly heavy snow
84 Barnstaple High Street, Then & Now. They don’t *quite* make shopfronts like they used to, eh?
Approaching Barnstaple Square along Taw Vale
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. Â Â JP.
