| Publisher Description: Rottingdean Through Time is a unique insight into the illustrious history of this part of the country. Reproduced in full colour, this is an exciting examination of Rottingdean, the famous streets and the famous faces, and what they meant to the people of Rottingdean throughout the 19th and into the 20th Century. Looking beyond the exquisite exterior of these well-kept photos, readers can see the historical context in which they are set. Through the author's factual captions for every picture, and carefully-selected choice of images, the reader can achieve a reliable view of the town's history. Readers are invited to follow a timeline of events and watch the changing face of Rottingdean, as Douglas d'Enno guides us through the town's streets. There is something for everyone here, whether they have lived in the area all their lives, or whether they are just visiting this fabulous town. It also shows how photography has continually evolved to keep up with an ever-changing society. |
Contributor Bio(s): D'Enno, Douglas: - "In 1985, Douglas d'Enno's 'The Saltdean Story' - now difficult to obtain - was published and since then he has written 15 books, mainly of local or regional interest, including a parish history, two books on true crime in Brighton, and several 'Through Time' books on the Sussex area for Amberley. He has passed on to his readers his detailed knowledge of the county in all its attractive variety. He now contributes to a number of community magazines and continues to be active in the writing of books as well as translating from a number of European languages on a freelance basis despite having officially retired." |
