What a fascinating view at the beginning of your video! It was a great idea to ask the question and reveal the answer at the end. I admire the lengths you go to get the present-day shot as near as possible to where the historic photo was taken. Interestingly, sometimes the present view looks virtually the same as before and sometimes totally different. Thanks for another well-researched and enjoyable video.
Good stuff John, and I like the addition of the dots on the maps to show the photo location. I love these time scales because it's my nanny and grandad's time when they were younger.
Thank you Luke, glad the dots helped! I felt that might be necessary when photos were "dotted" all over the city! I think it's always interesting to consider past generations living within the photos.
Love your videos John Whilst these videos are a superb resource today, just imagine what you're creating for future generations! Brilliant! Keep up the excellent work. 👍
You've done it again John! I was going for a quick visit to the City today to pick up a few odds and ends, now I'm going to have to wander about all day seeking out all these places! Thanks for posting and thanks for all your hard work and research. 😊
Excellent video John - super start to 2025 . I very much look forward to what else you put together for us this year. Happy new year John, happy videoing and best wishes x
Thanks for another fascinating video. As ever so much and, sometimes, so little has changed. Looking forward to seeing more interesting content in 2025. Hoping that The Festive Season was enjoyable.
Happy New Year John, and thanks for the first video of 2025.This was another of your videos where I saw the odd old photo but knew where the photo was taken even though they had totally changed.
Love your posts but one request from me, please increase the time each image is show if possible as I often find I’m only just orienting myself as to where the image is/what changes have taken place before the image disappears. Thanks again and keep them coming 👍
Thanks very much for your feedback. It's a dilemma that I have struggled with- trying to get the balance between keeping momentum with achieving easy comprehension for viewers. I certainly take your point and will do my best to get that balance right.
Hi John. I'm currently working my way randomly through all of your videos and reliving my childhood/youth. Excellent videos and hugely entertaining. Do you do requests? Bit cheeky I know, but I'd love to see a detailed visit to St. Benedicts, and/or Colman road from Unthank road junction to Earlham road juntion. Keep up the good work and thank you for all you do for us home sick ex pats and everyone else.
Thank you, great feedback. It's funny, with St Benedicts and Colman Road are on my list, but I haven't done them yet because they are partially covered in other videos. For St Benedicts, check out one on trams, and for Colman Road, check out 1930s ring road. But I have more on both, so can definitely do them at some stage.
@@JohnAtkinsLostNorwich Hi Again John. I've just popped in to say that I've finished watching all of your videos so far. I think what you're doing is amazing and your knowledge of our fine city, is incredible. I look forward to any new videos you produce in the future. Thank you for all you do and your continued hard work. It really is, very much appreciated.
Six I think: Pykerell's House: Located at 1 Rosemary Lane, NR3 3AF Thatched cottage: Located in St Swithin's Alley, NR2 4TX The Hermitage: Located at 52-54 Bishopgate, NR1 4AA Britons Arms: Located at 9 Elm Hill, NR3 1HN Weaver's Cottage: Located at 2-4 Lion and Castle Yard, NR1 3JT Waring's Lifestore: Located at 20 Westlegate, NR1 3LR
Excellent presentation as ever. Proud to say I managed to supress my instinct and say St. James Hill, and with a bit of help from Google Earth, found the spot exactly. St. Peter Mancroft, the castle, Jarrolds and the Catholic catethdral helped ;-)
Such as shame that much of our city is now characterless boxes. Most of detest the 60's concrete box building, so why planners think we want new ones, but just with cladding on them, is beyond me.
The view from the 35th Norwich Sea Scout hut brought back happy memories of my cub and scouting youth, the money-raising events held with garden fates hot dogs cooking in the Dell, and jumble sales. Thanks, Mr Atkins for another great post.

Thank you, yes I love that first shot! To get the current shot as accurately as possible is fun, but rather time consuming!

@@JohnAtkinsLostNorwich Thanks for that, I thought that I might be missing one. I enjoyed the film anyway.
@@TheClive1949 thank you, glad you liked it. It gives me an idea for another video maybe - about thatched buildings!
Cracking video as always John - I walked down Stepping Lane on Tuesday.
Not many people walk up Stepping Lane!@@martinthirkettle599
