In & Around Winchcombe Through Time is a wonderful collection of old and new photographs of Winchcombe. The older images 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.
As you browse through the photographs, you will notice the increase in the number of vehicles on the roads and the number of residents, how shops and other businesses have evolved and the changes and developments in modes of transportation and the architecture of the area.

 

 

Book Signings
On Saturday 14th April David Aldred and Tim Curr will be at Courtyard Books March between 10.00 am till 12.30pm
talking about and signing copies of his book, In and Around Winchcombe.
 

 
David Aldred is well-known through his writing and lecturing on historical subjects.
 He has written several books on the area, including A History of Bishop’s Cleeve
 and Woodmancote and The History of Cleeve Hill. He lives in Gotherington.

 
Tim Curr was born and raised in Woodmancote, and worked as a professional photographer
until retirement. He has actively collected historic photographs of the local area for over forty
years, supplemented with his own pictures taken over that time. He has previously privately
published two books, Under a Cotswold Height and Passing
