Between the 2 pictures, the landscape on the left has changed an awful lot over the years...  the older one still looks more like West Shore toll house looks today....   but I'm tired and stupid.



never stupid, the building has itself changed a lot and I had to keep looking at the two then and now pics! :)

The old picture is the toll house out west shore, the image has been printed the wrong way round.  You can tell by the rock formations, which is are still the same today Llandudno, UK - Google Maps

It's interesting;  our brains can fairly easily process certain types of transformations - such as the backwards clock - but photos of familiar places seem almost alien by comparison.

Indeed, I feel that the main fall in house prices is yet to come. Could be another 40% to come off some properties.
