Again, thanks to the old postcards sent to us by John in UK, we are able to compare how PE looked around the 1930s, and how it looks now. This is the promenade on the beachfront.
As you can see, the major new feature is the Shark Rock Pier in the background, and of course all the high rise buildings. But missing is all the metal structure on the old slipway, and the bathing houses.
The postcard dramatically demonstrates how times change. The absence of high rise buildings to me seems to be a better landscape.
ReplyDeleteI love before & after photos. I might try that with our beach/coastline. I also don't mind the highrise buildings, but my question is whare are the people?? It seems people are more prone to be indoors nowdays & the beauty outside is still the same. I'll also have to look up what a slipway is.
ReplyDeleteSome days I wish I could time warp back to different times in the past to see what it looked like then.
ReplyDeleteI remember that building in the background. Sorry that it's gone now.
