THEN and NOW - Postcard Views from Yesteryear + Update Image

[Ross Ewington]

There are a few "Then and Now" books with Tasmanian photos which are most entertaining to view, especially is you are "a local".

I thought it would be good to start a topic here along the same lines. To obtain recent views of locations in Tasmania you don't have to
go there of course ..... visit Google Streetview and capture a desired image.

Here is my first contribution:

H. Stapleton's General Store at St Leonards ...... circa 1907

I bought my first house on Bleesington Road St Leonards and Bob Collins was my supermarket man and this was my local post office. Missed out on the postcard at the last auction but with both up to view the similarities it brings back fond memories. Thanks Ross.
