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.
I have taken this view at Cabot Circus a fair few times, one big difference this year is that there is no Santa. This photo was taken in November 2023.
This photograph was taken last year on the 26th November 2022.
I remembered I had taken a photograph in the same location, back on December 8th 2019. I was on my way to do a pick up from the Vue Cinema, so I took a photograph of the festive Cabot Circus.
I also wrote about it back then as well and in that post I used an image I found searching Flickr from December 2012. It would seem I am not alone in taking photographs from that vantage point outside House of Fraser.
I have written a few times about how I have taken photographs of this view of Cabot Circus.
