Charabanc Outing, Felstead Street, 1930 Shared by Mapping The Change

How amazing is this Charabanc? Followed by a group of dashing men and women off on a outing.  The bottom row of men interrupted by the two ladies in fabulous turbans. I wonder where they were off to? Photo shared by Mapping the Change.

Fave Story of the Week

Lazy Cowboy Days of Summer, Colorado, Shared by CM_Edwards

CM_Edwards shares her memories of summer ’69. CM_Edwards being the daring Cowgirl, sitting on her front porch, with her brother and friend. The complete Cowgirl outfit was a gift for her 5th birthday sky blue hat, trousers and waistcoat, and to complete the look a pair of red cowgirl boots. I’m totally envious of this cowgirl outfit.

Pinner of the Week

  1. I absolutely love this technique (placing current pictures over historic ones). When I get some time, I want to try to learn how to do this. Your examples are fantastic!
