Just remembered I hadn’t posted anything for this
London is good for juxtapositions of old and new

Liverpool Street view

Old and new around Spitalfields
and here is Matera, in Basilicata…an image taken by my friend whilst we were there a good few years ago now, where you see modern above the old cave dwellings

Good selections, Sue. Central London is rich in such opportunities.
Best wishes, Pete.
Certainly is!
That is the oddest space age looking thing in the Liverpool photo. It clashes with the others and your photo illustrates that well.
I think you might be referring to the Gherkin
Is that the name of the thing? What is it?
The Gherkin is effectively an office block in London’s main financial area, The City. Designed by Norman Foster
Too funny. I can see why it got the name.
Exactly
great contrasts. the height differences between old and new is fascinating.
Thanks, Marie…yes, the new towers over the old
Amazing images for this one Sue. That last image shows a place I’ve never heard of but would love to see first-hand.
Oh, I’m sure you would love it, Tina…here’s what I posted in 2014: https://suejudd.com/2014/04/02/frizztexts-a-toz-challenge-m-is-for-matera/
Oh, gosh, yes. London must be easy to find old and new side by side.
Definitely
Spitalfields is one of the best places in London for old and new – love these Sue
I love Spitalfields, Becky’
We’ll have to go together one day, probably summer 2021!
That would be marvellous….even if we have to wait that long
Would love a return trip to London. So much to see!!
So much to see, indeed
