then & now

Then & Now is a rephotographic project using images from the late 19th and early 20th, taken by Ernest Bush.  Using these old images the original locations were tracked down and the view from that point photographed.

The changes that took place throughout the 20th century were in some cases very evident - whole rows or houses and shops had long since been demolished.  In other cases the changes were more subtle - the detail in the buildings had changed, but the main structures remained untouched.  In all cases the passing of time was apparent.
