Nice comparison! Has the tree walked a bit to the left...?

Interesting - I don't know that stretch very well but are buildings on the left of the old photo still around? It looks like the road layout may have changed?

Looks like it :-)

The building on the left where the man is standing must be the one demolished by the V2

For all you car nuts out there, The Jewsons (out of the pic, next to the red car) is where Colin Chapman founded Lotus.

Just something I had to share.

Thanks pvig - lots more on that here. (John, who took the today photo to add to my historic image is part of a group trying to set up a Lotus museum on the original Hornsey site).

Brilliant. Nice to see an actual picture of the Lotus factory. I heard Cosworth started around the area also?

Take a look at this photo and you'll see what happened to the building in the foreground in the Edwardian era picture above.
