Harleston, Norfolk – Then/Now interactive rephotography MOTHER LODE!

Find the Harleston Then/Now interactive rephotography Mother lode here!

I decided that rather than upload the Then/Now ‘interactive sliders’ as and when I had time to think about something to say for each one, I would upload them all at once, and think about saying something about them later.

Also today I found out the meaning (and spelling) of Mother lode!

I’ve split these into Parts I, II, III and IV because too many sliders might slow your browser down, and because I, II, III and IV is just better than 1, 2, 3 and 4  in my opinion.

Click and drag the slider to compare the before and after images!

Don’t know the date of the old black/white photo, taken from the Waveney Valley … way back when facebook group. My colour photo was taken on 26th February 2017.

What’s obvious now, but wasn’t when i was lining the picture up on the street (too busy looking out for traffic coming from behind), is that two fifths of what is now the Cardinal’s Hat (was it always?) is no longer there. I have no idea when that happened, but it was sometime between now and a long time ago.

Here are some more, also taken on 26th February 2017, looking the same way (North) down the Thoroughfare, showing the Swan Hotel, and the ‘original’ five fifths of the Cardinal’s Hat

Fun things to notice are the new brick skin built on the building to the left, and has the pavement level really increased that much or did they drop the bay window down at some point?
