During the Framlingham Photo Project, a series of photos was taken of scenes in Framlingham at the time (2011), and paired with older photos taken at various times in the past.

Sometimes there is more than one “then” or more than one “now” photo of a scene.

The remarkable thing is how little the buildings in central Framlingham have changed in 120 years. A number of shops even sell the same goods. There has been a chemist in the shop at the top of Market Hill for 140 years, the Crown Hotel is still there (alas, many of the other pubs have gone), Garrards hardware store is still there (it became Bridges and Garrard and is now Coopers Hardware Store), and the Post Office in Riverside is virtually unchanged externally from when it was built in 1909. The price of stamps has gone up a bit, though.
