| Publisher Description: Winsford Through Time is a unique insight into the illustrious history of one of England's finest towns. Reproduced in full colour, this is an exciting examination of Winsford, the well-known streets, the famous faces and what they meant to the people of this town 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, and through the author's factual captions for every picture and carefully-selected choice of images, the reader can achieve a reliable view of Winsford's history. Readers are invited to follow a timeline of events and watch the changing face of the town, as Paul Hurley guides us through the local streets. There is something for everyone here, whether they have lived in Winsford all their lives, or whether they are just visiting this delightful town. It also shows how photography has continually evolved to keep up with an ever changing society. |
