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.

Around Leamington Spa: a Second Selection (Britain in Old Photographs)

Coventry remembers the night of the Blitz, when many people lost their lives, lovely old buildings were destroyed, and the magnificent St Michael's, Coventry's cathedral, was burnt to the ground. Jacqueline Cameron shows, through old and new photographs, just how this iconic city has risen from these ashes. This full colour book is a fascinating journey around the area, illustrating the changes that have taken place. Consider the beautiful new cathedral, and the revitalised city and you will realize that Coventry might have suffered badly in the Second World War but its spirit had not been killed, the heart of the city beats as strong as ever. It is hoped that, with Coventry Through Time, the readers can see for themselves just how the planners have given the people of Coventry a city to be proud of.
