James Fox, who created the video, hopes that his creations "stirs memories and shows people places they thought they knew in a completely different light."

The 29-year-old said: "I began with an interest in rephotography (the art of retaking photos from earlier photographs). This progressed after college into 3D prints and then eventually time lapse films which I call 'Journeys Through Time'.

"I carefully select and credit photos of iconic locations around the country over a spread of decades/ years and combine them into a seamless animation so you can see changes unfold before your eyes."

James creates time lapse films for a variety of locations throughout the United Kingdom. More of his work can be found at www.facebook.com/Timetravelimages
