Before and after

I've recently become obsessed with Flickr. Not just putting my own pictures up, but also looking at other people's.

Tetramesh has 203 photos of how Hampstead and Kilburn (my constituency) used to look compared to how it looks now. The gyratory system and above-ground bit of the tube station at Swiss Cottage were monstrosised (is that a word?) in the 1970s. Check out this picture to see the before and after.

  1. Wow TOTALLY fascinating! The Odeon Swiss Cottage didn't look much better in 1930 though, did it?
