part of Gloucestershire. Reproduced in full colour, this is an exciting examination of Nailsworth and Woodchester, the famous streets and the famous faces, and what they meant to the people of this area 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 history of these towns.
Readers are invited to follow a timeline of events and watch the changing face of the area, as Howard Beard guides us through the local streets.
There is something for everyone here, whether they have lived in Nailsworth and Woodchester all their lives, or whether they are just visiting this beautiful part of Gloucestershire for the first time. It also shows how photography has continually evolved to keep up with an ever changing society.
