From the past To the present

Pictures of Newark then and now

By Newark MIND

This was a project created by members of Newark MIND men's group.

The project involved researching locations around Newark, photographing them, editing and cataloguing, and finally comparing them with old photos of the same spot borrowed from the Local Studies department at Newark Library.  Here are some of the results:
