Thanks for that, some of them are amazing.

Funny that not that much has changed with obvious exceptions to repairs to houses. In the first 2 pics it looks like theyre actually still using the same telegraph posts from near 70 years ago.

Half of us don't even know we are born these days.
What must it have been like even 60 years ago. :/
Very thought provoking set there.
