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.

From the Author
A brilliant photographic comparison of old and new.
As I've looked around myself in the town of Aylesbury, I've seen buildings and wondered what was there before. This book shows the reader exactly what was there before as well as seeing how certain views have changed over the years and indeed, how some have hardly changed at all. It was an extremely enjoyable book to compile and I learned a great deal from it. I hope the reader will have as much enjoyment from it as I did.
