Tetbury Through Time is a unique insight into the illustrious history of this part of the country. Reproduced in full colour, this is an exciting examination of Tetbury, the famous streets and 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 this town’s history.
Readers are invited to follow a timeline of events and watch the changing face of this beautiful town, as Lynne Cleaver guides us through the streets of Tetbury.
There is something for everyone here, whether they have lived in the area all their lives, or whether they are just visiting this town for the first time. Tetbury Through Time also shows how photography has continually evolved to keep up with an ever-changing society.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Lynne Cleaver’s interest in local history began with an A-level project on her village near Scarborough. On leaving school she started work at Scarborough library, where she took charge of the Reference & Local Studies department. After a career break Lynne took a job at Cheltenham Library, where she works primarily in the Local History Department.
The move enabled research into her husband Nigel’s Tetbury family roots, which inspired further research into Tetbury’s local history. Lynne developed a website,www.tetburyfamilies.co.uk, to share the knowledge gained and pool information. She undertakes private research for those unable to do their own, and is studying for the Certificate in Genealogy with the Institute of Heraldic & Genealogical Studies, Canterbury. She has two children.
