Wow, this post on Twitter starts out with the original poster sharing scans of glass photo slides (possibly magic lantern slides) from the early 20th century, somewhere in England.
In response, one person posted a photo of the high street in Oxford from around the same time, and then another person posted an image of the same street today:
The person who posted the present-day photo commented, "it's great to see mature trees on the corner of Longwall Street and the High Street. That corner looks bare today."
The sidewalks were wider in the older photo, especially on the left side. The present-day street may look as though it's about the same width, but it's probably wider, having taken four or six feet from the sidewalks.
Finds like this on Twitter... one more thing I would miss if it goes down the tubes because of Elmo's actions.
