Then & Now

I've found this website fascinating. I'm sure there's other ways of comparing maps and aerial photography but this is a very powerful tool. I've wasted spent a few afternoons browsing whilst on Zoom meetings....

Well I never! I've been using that site for ages and never spotted the side by side option. I always used the overlay version:

Same here. Been using the overlays and the spyglass feature for ages but had never discovered the side by side option.

What a handy tool, and definitely great for wasting my evenings when I'm stuck back on camp from next week. Would have been useful this morning when I was tracing the old route for Yarmouth Beach station and where the old third bridge over the Bure was!

There's a thread on here (I think) with some photos of the old railways around Yarmouth. Hopefully someone with a better memory than me will be along with a link.
