Sometimes it just seems to happen before we even realise.

So, we thought we would help you look back and remember what used to be.

Whether it is the former silos that used to tower over Wendouree, the old hospitals in the CBD or even the string of national chains that used to be houses in Sebastopol, there has been a whole heap of change.

Using Google street view images from 2007, we show you what used to stand in certain places around Ballarat, compared to exists now.

Have a look below. There’ll be some we bet you forgot!
