Why did they have to change it? It looked so much much better then, than now!

[@carolbarlow9228]

Wow just how i remembered growing up - lovely town - replaced by in some cases not so nice buildings preferred the old buildings just shows what a hash we humans have made of it!!

[@juliecrook4515]

This brought fond memories as I’ve moved away…but I felt sad to see back home🙏

[@philoffhistree6700]

very interesting but leaving the place blank means only a very few people will ever comment and engage with you so your losing out on revisits and subs

[@deangriffith6862]

I grew up in Radcliffe 71 - 91 then moved away to south Gloucestershire

Not all the 'then' photos are necessarily better....which is surprising.
Another thing that strikes me about nearly all the 'then' photos are the lack of trees. There are far more trees everywhere now - not just in streets, but along major roads, in parks and everywhere in between.
There were literally hardly any trees in many of the old photos. With no trees to filter out the coal smoke, it's no wonder people back in the day died younger - despite more having manual jobs and therefore moving around more. Plus of course everyone smoked back then too.
