September 2018 sees Google celebrate its 20th anniversary.

To mark the milestone, we look back at the early days of one of tech’s biggest success stories with a selection of pictures from the firm’s beginnings.

Like many an American start-up story, the history of Google begins in a humble garage.

Susan Wojcicki is now the CEO of YouTube. JB
