Many historical village locations can still
be identified today. Whilst our modern streets are more likely to
contain cars rather than kids, where buildings have been photographed
there is a good chance of identifying the exact spot where a photographer
stood in past times. We've done our best in this section to match
the historical image with the modern version.
