Beatles fans - My Town, 50 years apart ! Pics :)
 

OK, so last night I'm watching a Beatles documentary and they are showing a quick photo of when they shot 'Magical Mystery Tour' in 1967... They were actually in my town, and so I took a photo of the TV screen...

Went out this morning and tried to 'recreate' the shot from memory...

at least the double stripe yellow lane is still there. :)

I see a new lamp post, new pavement, chimneys gone, new trees, coach has driven away too

Were you born in Teignmouth?

Yup, not much has changed in 50 years TBH... I was born about 8 miles away from Teignmouth. in 1968 Teignmouth didn't have a main hospital for births... Trees are not new BTW... Visible in the B/W pic, but only just - Much smaller then :)

surprisingly similar except it looks like the road has been widened?

that cool man

Yes, its wider on the side away from the buildings... They made slanted parking slots down that side.
