Around Whickham Through Time contains 180 photographs of Whickham and the surrounding area, of which 90 are old photographs, some printed in a sepia tone and some 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 area.
This delightful collection opens a window on a bygone way of life and views which were once familiar to previous generations. The reader will notice the increase in the number of vehicles on the road and shops that once sold new goods are perhaps now estate agents or charity shops.
