Spot the Difference – & Tokyngton Then and Now Activity

The photos in this pack are of 18 different places in the Wembley and Tokyngton area of Brent. There is a map on page 2 showing the location of each place. There are a pair of photos for each place. Inventions in the 1960s meant that people could take photos in colour much more easily from 1960s onwards. Until then, most photos were in black and white, except for special occasions like birthdays.

 The first photo is a newer photo of the place.  The second photo is an old photo of the same place but taken a long time ago.

1. Look at the pairs of photos. What differences can you spot?  What looks the same?  What looks different?

2. Here are some suggestions for things to look for in the pairs of photos:  Which photos have buses, cars or motorbikes in them?  Can you see any street lights in any of the photos?  What clothes are people wearing? Are they the same in the old photos as in the new photos?

3. Write down as many things as you can for each pair of photos in the spaces next to the photos. We hope you enjoyed doing this activity and learning about the history of Brent.
