Around Durham Through Time contains 180 photographs of Durham and the surrounding area, of which 90 are old photographs. Some are printed in a sepia tone and some are printed in full colour. These photographs are printed alongside a contemporary full colour photograph which illustrates the same scene. The contrasting illustrations show how the area has changed and developed during the last 100 years. The photographs illustrate shops, schools, garages, churches, houses and street scenes, each photograph is captioned and the book has an introduction which gives a brief overview of the history of the town. As you browse through the photographs, you will notice the increase in the number of vehicles on the road, shops that once sold new goods are now estate agents or charity shops, and green fields have been transformed into industrial estates, houses or ring roads.
Around Durham Through Time eBook Michael Richardson
I have ancestors from this area and wanted to see places they lived and a little of how they lived. The book has an abundance of old pictures in only a couple of areas, and only a very few from some other areas. I was hoping for more pictures of the whole county. It is still a well done picture comparison. I had just returned from a family history trip in that area so I was hoping for more. I wish there had been more effort in collecting pictures from a broader area of Durham. It gave me a feel for the time period my ancestors lived there, just without some of the more specific places. I still enjoyed the visual history.Product details
