Old Pictures

Penistone Pictorial banner

This section shows how some local views have changed during the last century. Where possible, I've put old and new pictures side by side for comparison. I'll start the ball rolling with these two fragments below, from a scanned aerial photograph. Also take a look at the Britain form Above Page at National Archives. Ah, nostalgia's not what it used to be.
