These 19th century photographs of London's Chelsea have shown how the exclusive suburb changed from a Victorian artists' colony to a 21st century millionaires' enclave.

Same thing has happened everywhere in Britain. We used to have an industrial landscape that just doesn't exist any more. Locally, I remember when the canal wharf warehouse was pulled down, or the redevelopment of Little London. That said, in the middle of Old Town, in amongst the tightly packed terraces you can still find country cottages from before the railways came, when Swindon was a small market village on top of the hill.
