Cape Town Today Vs. Cape Town 1940s – Epic Side By Side Comparisons [Images]

When you put aerial images of Cape Town taken during the 1940s alongside their modern day Google Earth equivalents, this is what you get.

Shall we take a traipse down memory lane?

We’ve shown you some lekker old school photos of Cape Town before (HERE), but this time around it’s all all about the side by side comparison.

You can thank modern technology for this, with some aerial shots from the 1940s matched with their modern day counterparts via Google Earth.

Quite a shock to see those quaint seaside cottages in Clifton, where a parking bay can now fetch a million bucks (HERE).

Still, not a bad place to call home.
