Before and After Photos: Witness the Evolution of Places Over Time! 

What happened to Architecture? There's hardly a single modern building that can hold a candle to ones from the past.

I just love the. Music playing in the video. I could listen to that kind of music all night and day. The pictures were great too.

you can see a lot of change in the pictures, but im not sure i would call it "progress".lol

Ice always melts it even melted in the ice age. That is how we got Oceans and Seas etc.

The new world is a pale and disappointing reflection of the old. (in most cases)

4:29. How weird! The old building now seems to be under cover! Love these before and after photos! 😊

5:36 What the hell happened in Kansas city !?

Shakespeare's wife's house, restored by British charitable organisations that started doing restoration of historic buildings, from the late 19th century onwards.

In just about every picture the modern picture showed decline.

Poland seems to be the only Country that rebuilt as close to the original buildings as was possible.

I find it sad that a lot of historic buildings in America have gone.

The music is haunting and I love it!

What happened to Kansas City? They nuke it or something?

The photo at 1:38 taken at 10th and Walnut shows a Buick car of the 1950s in the left hand picture. Thanks so much for these amazing contrast photo's well done!

The picture of Oxford looks like you've just colourised the original. Everything is still the same, including the tree. 👍

Wow, I love this! Thank you!!❤

That music is jamming!!!

I really hate when the end of a video is covered with ads for more videos.

Fascinating. Always appreciate it when the photographer makes the effort to try and take the picture from the same spot as the original.

It's like time stood still for the Coca Cola building in Los Angeles @ 2:42. Even the trees are the same exact height. 🙂

The New York in 1957 & 2021 photo description is inaccurate. That girl is from the 1970s. The clothes and hairstyle are very wrong for 1957. And the Los Angeles Coca-Cola building one is mislabeled because those style of traffic lights didn't show up until later.

8:30 so nice they got rid of those pesky old buildings.

Good video, good blues. 👍

Great video. 👏👍

I'm still mad that the old Penn Station was razed and replaced with that eyesore!

Most of the ‘after’ look much better

7:37 Incredibly even the tree in the centre of shot is around the same size and shape.

Sad evidence that culture, heritage, and soul have been receding as fast as the glaciers

odd, the older bristol street corner looks more like the corner of saddler street in Durham

10.28: Now that was a street corner!!

So many building gems have been replace and completely destroyed/wiped out in the U.S. Europe treasures its architectural history.

Thank-you for confirming what I suspected. The buildings behind looked different as did the gradient.

Kansas City - years unknown, but the exact times are known.

6:30 The Hill Walley from Back to the Future was much nicer

Color makes a lot of difference

well they really downgraded that Elbbrucke bridge in germany

Considering the Coca-Cola building in LA, all kidding aside I was expecting to see at least a remnant of a homeless encampment 😮. All in all a great collection as always. I liked the WW1 trench photo most of all 🙂

3:30 the only image things have gone better.

I am afraid you are wrong about the Bristol pictures. The new is the corner of Colston Street. The old no longer exists and was over a mile away. I used to buy my Dinkey toys in a shop in the old photo corner .. Bristolian.

Wonderful! I love the music-especially the bass!!

We know Germany had its fair share of Bombing in W.W.2 , I think its good to see some of these building were saved The Bridge in this film aspesely, & the Building in Poland was nearly flatend in W.W.2 The building now looking Good all credit to the peaple of Poland, 😂

At 1:43 Kansas City years unknown there is a clue. The Buick on the left is from the very early 1950's.

0:06 "a German city" is Freiburg im Breigau (Martinstor)

The Kansas city photo near the beginning looks like it was taken between 1935 to late fifties just going by the style of clothing that the people are wearing , so as almost 90 down to seventy years ago the original photo was taken .

The Steep St and Griffon Pub (Bristol) then & now is NOT correct, shows two differing locations, several yards apart. Please do some homework before simply assuming, thank you.

the very first picture is the beautiful city of Freiburg im Breisgau, the entry to the black forest.

Picture number two is not the same location, the angle of the buildings are wrong. it's still a nice shot of the same area but it sort of bothers me that one buildings angle changes. Sorry carry on.

Is the First one Freiburg?

AS A FORMER OCCUPANT OF BRISTOL, THAT PHOTO IS ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS, HOW THE HELL , HORSE DRAWN CARTS GOT UP--OR DOWN THAT COBBLED HILL, MUST HAVE BEEN A NIGHTMARE, IT LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD COLAPSE IF SOMEONE SNEEZED.

Not sure if I am alone in my thoughts, but that first tower, my first thought was "when they rebuilt it, they didnt even try to make it like the original....." I mean, its "mostly" the same. But some key things are noticeably missing as well. But then again, how old is the tower? 500-800 years old? At what point in history should my mind place an attachment to in regards to that building. Its likely had many faces over the centuries, my silly ideas of how it should look based on a 100 year old picture are definitely not the entire story that the building has to tell. Its literally a snapshot in my mind. Does anyone else have a hard time seeing pictures that only show a fraction of the buildings life, but yet still think "why cant it be like it was supposed to be"......when all we are seeing is a picture of it after centuries of it enduring many, many things? I know its silly. I am thinking too much about it. Much better the buildings be preserved, I guess its just my inability to accept the passage of time, maybe?

So what year did mankind invent color?

automobiles ruin everything.

"Date unknown" Kansas city pic looks like a 1948 Oldsmobile maybe. Any care experts out there? I think that's an old police call box also.

5:36 - грустный кадр(

The El Tovar Hotel was where Clark Griswold realized he lost his wallet and stole all the money out of the cash register before taking off without paying the bill.

People are some busy things, aren't they?

SPEED UP THE PACE !!!!!

The Gryphon (thumbnail) is the best metal pub in bristol

In most cases I prefer the old buildings.... Dresden is Churchills shame and a war crime.... great photos thank you

Architecture was prettier back in the day. Everything is so bland and boring looking today.

8.38 : Random neighborhood in Brooklyn looks more like 1926 instead of '16 (those cars are from the '20's)

So many before and after where there were beautiful old buildings, and they’re not there anymore. Some replaced with so called modern buildings and others with nothing there at all! 😮 didn’t like this at all.

4:42 -- that's Emerson's house. Alcott's is next house over to the left. Unless of course the Alcotts owned Emerson's place a some time, in which case, never mind...

Environmental changes....come on.

We've been so lied to...

That pub in Bristol, I had a meeting of the Communist party there in the 1980s! Obviously I grew up.
