M20s in Arromanches

Hi guys, thought I would share this with you.
A bunch of M20s and a carrier photoghraphed on the Rue de la Gare ( now Rue de Verdun). The building behind was the old railway station which was extended in 1947 and is now the post office.

It's hard to see that this is that same building.

Great photo, thanks.

Re: M20s in Arromanches

Have you a picture of the same building from the same angle?

I have a great book, "Battle of the Bulge, Then and Now" which does that, and it is a fabulous study in war and recontruction.

Re: M20s in Arromanches

As far as I understand it, this is the same building in just about the same angle. Doesn't look very much the same anymore to my opinion.

Just a few months we were riding at that spot with our own BSA's.

Re: M20s in Arromanches

hi,just done it again,when you open the file,the building in the black and white photo is on your left,click the arrows on the road and go forward until a red car is on your right.turn round there then move the little man towards the rear of the busses,go forward with the arrows and you will be on the same spot as the photographer cheers rick

Re: M20s in Arromanches

Hey Rick the building you are looking at is the villa "Stansilas"(Ibelieve)on the other side of the road. Here is the station from a different angle-
