| Publisher Description: Stafford means 'ford' by a 'staithe' (landing place). Historically, the town's location was of great importance as it provided the only feasible place for a large army to cross the River Trent. Stafford From Old Photographs offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Staffordshire's county town and provides the reader with a visual representation of Stafford's fascinating history. Drawing upon an eclectic collection of photographs, the author offers a charming glimpse into the history of Stafford and life in the town, successfully illustrating every aspect of this beautiful town. 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. |
