That's really, really cool! Must have taken a lot of hard work to create those composite images, very time consuming..

These pictures are fantastic Ammi

Proves I need to actually read thread titles though, I was wondering why so many of these pictures featured destroyed buildings and roads...

..yeah, the whole idea is genius and the time that he has spent doing them and getting it all so exact which must have been so difficult because of architectural changes since the earthquake...really stunning, I think that they're some of my favourite ever photos...

People and traffic in Oxford Street around the turn of the 20th century. Christina Broom at this time photographed London street scenes to reproduce as postcards for sale...

A night shot outside the Palace Theatre before an evening's performance. The Frankie Vaughan Season ran from 20 January to 16 February 1958 and included Vaughan as the headliner and artists such as Petula Clark, who was to sing her latest hits. Collins created a number of night-time photographs playing with the bright lights of the West End to record people enjoying the buzz of fifties nightlife...

This photograph captures the view north up Brick Lane in Spitalfields, close to the markets. Some of the textile businesses can be seen. Bengali migrants began to arrive in the area from the late 1950s onwards

If you go to Falkirk you can see what it is like to live in the 19th century without photoshop

This image shows Piccadilly Circus, Coronation day, June 1953. Crowds gather to witness the Coronation procession of Elizabeth II. The coronation went ahead in Westminster Abbey on 2 June 1953, and at the Queen's request, the entire ceremony was televised throughout the Commonwealth, and watched by an estimated twenty million people...

People sunbathing in Hyde Park with Marble Arch and the Odeon cinema in the background. The attendant is selling tickets for the deckchairs which are available for hire in the park. The Odeon which was originally a Regal cinema, opened in 1928. The exterior of the building was made from Portland Stone and featured columns and statues however in 1964 it was thought too small and the building was demolished and a larger cinema complex was built in its place..

A boy is seen shining his shoes outside the Tea Room at Victoria station in 1950. A group of porters can be seen with their trolleys waiting to help travellers with their luggage...

[Charing Cross Road is renowned for
its specialist and second-hand bookshops.
Wolfgang Suschitzky was attracted by the
extensive array of second-hand
bookshops and teahouses,
and the crowds that
flocked to them.
The resulting series of
photographs are
amongst Suschitzky's
most acclaimed work]

This photograph shows Byward Street near Tower Hill, looking west with the church of All Hallows by the tower on the left and the former Mark Lane Underground station on the right. Reid photographed the streets and buildings of London and the activity in them in the 1920s and 1930s...
