Welcome to the GhostViewer Historic Photo Map — a growing collection of old photographs and vintage postcards from across the UK, each pinned to the place where history happened. Browse by country, county, or town to find historic images near you, filter by date to travel back through the decades, and see which locations already have a GhostViewer “then and now” or “before and after” creation. Click any card to explore the details, jump to the map pin, or open the photo directly in the GhostViewer app to create your own before-and-after overlay or animated GIF.
You can find out more about GhostViewer images by visiting the GhostViewer Statistics.
