Product Description

This addition to the "Britain in Old Photographs" series brings together a collection of black-and-white pictures spanning the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Drawn from family albums, local collections and professional photographers, they show the way things were and how they have changed. Every photograph is captioned, providing names and dates where possible, revealing historical and anecdotal detail and giving life to the scenes and personalities captured through the camera lens. Bringing together all aspects of daily life - celebrations and disasters, work and leisure, people and buildings - the collection should inspire memories, as well as serve as an introduction to visitors.

Customer Reviews

Thin on detail
This book contains some wonderful pictures but is not the comprehensive history I had expected. In fact, it is primarily an extended guidebook. It details all the building works that have ever taken place at the Tower - including demolitions and re-building - and not enough about the historic events played out within its forbidding walls.

A good history
A good detailed history of the buildings within the tower complex with plenty of pictures of interest.
