How the High Street has Changed, Orpington 1982 to 2022. The War Memorial and Immediate Area.

How the Highstreet has changed in the 40 years up to 2022. In 1982 I was very concerned about the number of old buildings disappearing in the town so I photographed Orpington high street to create a record I have gone back at regular intervals ever since to photograph and then in 2022, the year of the platinum jubilee, video So what has changed between 1982 and 2022? I will be preparing a series of videos showing how the high street has changed over these 40 years. Although the pictures are from Orpington the changes were mirrored in many towns across the country The pictures are used to highlight the many changes in the street scene over the last 40 years This video shows the changes around the Orpington War memorial and Cenotaph; the 2 Village Halls, the old carpark and Tescos and a detailed look at 4 shop fronts. It also looks at the old adverts on Billboards in 1982 and changes in road / path layout. It highlights how street furniture has changed Please subscribe to get updates as I release them Brought to you by @Eclectic Experience. Change seen through images
