Always love to look at old pictures and these are very good. Especially like the one with people waiting to watch the boat race - did you spot all those people sitting in the suspension chains of the bridge? Happy Modelling

I spent many years in and around London and you don`t see the gradual changes that occur. Not until you see a collection of pics that are as good as these, that show the overall changes of time. Thanks for posting. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

They're cheating. The black & white photo of Hampton Court Palace is not actually old, it's a modern photo made black & white. There's a parking lot and traffic circle in there featuring modern cars, none of which you would have in the 1800s, as well as modern boats moored in the river which are highly likely the exact same boats moored in the same spot in the color picture.
