This is a regular series of blogs about photographs of the same place taken years apart. I quite like those Then and Now comparison photographs that you see in books or on the Twitter or Facebook. 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.
I was looking at some old photographs from a couple of visits to Chepstow Castle. Not too surprising I found I had taken similar photographs of the castle.
This photograph was taken in August 2009 with a Canon EOS 400D.
I took a very similar photograph four years later, in August 2013, again with the same Canon EOS 400D.
Not quite the same angle, but close enough.
I also took this photograph of the castle grounds in August 2009 with a Canon EOS 400D.
I did a similar shot four years later.
Chepstow Castle is the oldest surviving post-Roman stone fortification in Britain. Construction began in 1067, just after the Norman conquest by the Norman Lord William FitzOsbern.
