Tony Cherry, Meg Wise Thornbury Through Time Revised Edition

Annotation

Thornbury Through Time contains 180 old and current photographs of this beautiful Gloucestershire market town. Each of the 90 old photographs, some printed in sepia, appears alongside a contrasting contemporary version in full colour, illustrating how the town and surrounding area has changed during the last 100 years. Each photograph is accompanied by descriptive text and the book also has an introduction giving a brief overview of the history of the area. This delightful collection features local shops, schools, garages, churches, houses and street scenes and opens a window onto a forgotten way of life with images that were once familiar to previous generations.
