Teddington, Middlesex, The Causeway and Broad Street c1907-12

Teddington, Middlesex, The Causeway and Broad Street c1907-12. All four of these postcards were published by Young & Co of Teddington and show Broad Street, one of the main thoroughfares in Teddington and somewhere Mr Young would have been very familiar with. The Causeway looks surprisingly similar today, but the ugly Tesco building in Broad Street is not a patch on the Wintour Phelps shop in the old postcards. Phelps were well known furniture dealers in the area and only closed their last shop in St. Margarets a few years ago. Click the pictures to enlarge. For more old photographs please visit Sepia Saturday.
