Then and Now Take Two – Wells Market Place once more

This is a regular series of blogs about photographs of the same place taken years apart. Over the years I have taken this view at Bristol Airport quite a few times, both unintentionally and now intentionally.

I was in Wells for their Christmas Market in December 2025, so I decided I would take the same photograph of the market place again. I used an iPhone 13.

I took this photograph in Wells in August 2002.

It was taken with a Sony Cybershot. On a return visit to Wells in January 2025 I decided I would attempt to take this photograph again using my iPhone 13.

Where as before there were cars parked, on the day I went there was a market (and a lot more people).

Then and Now Take Two Again – Wells High Street

This is a regular series of blogs about photographs of the same place taken years apart. The first of the posts in this series was of a council building in Manchester. I always thought I should give then and now photographs a go. However what I have started to notice is that I have been doing Then and Now photographs unintentionally over the years and have been taking photographs of the same thing or place from the same view or perspective years apart. Now this has come to my attention I have started to intentionally take photographs of the same place.
