A collection of photographic images that allow viewers to to see both the past and present merged side by side in the same image has opened in Burton.
The Staffordshire exhibition – Same photo – a century apart is on display to the general public inside The Octagon Shopping Centre, Burton upon Trent from 1 February 2014.
[blockquote]The photographs will give visitors to the centre the chance to see just how the local area has changed.[/blockquote]
[h3]A unique way to see the present and the past[/h3]
The photographs, some which date back as far as 1870, cleverly feature a combination of old and new images taken from the same locations in the town that have then been merged into one to make stunning pieces of art.
Peter Hardingham, Manager of The Octagon Shopping Centre, said: “We are delighted to be able to host the joint PJT Photoservices & Robert Brittle Photography exhibition within the centre.
The photographs are absolutely incredible and I would certainly recommend that our shoppers come and view them as they are very unusual and capture a little bit of our local history.”
The exhibition runs until 31 March 2014
