CHESTER LE STREET THEN AND NOW

How things have changed over the years but everywhere is the same. For me not for the better. I could point the blame but what is the point. I just hang on to the memories of how it used to be. What else can you do?

Another superb set of photos, then and now. Keep 'em coming. Didn't realise you were unwell as you said in the comments on my video. I'm glad you've improved. Lots of love.

I came across some of your earlier slideshows and as a visitor I could identify some of the locations but not all. I wished there were "now" shots to accompany them so great to find you have done exactly that.

Yes I am doing a few then and now videos a lot of people have asked. I am working on a Birtley video at the moment. Thanks for your comment
