Cheltenham Past and Present
|
|
|
Author: David Hanks
After
almost two thousand years of eventful but mostly unrecorded lives, a
few Cheltenham folk first began to see themselves, and their town,
captured by early photographers soon after 1841. Thereafter the medium
of photography advanced relentlessly from pewter plates to glass plates,
through film and finally into today’s digital world. |
David Hanks’
new book gathers together a wonderful
collection of some of the earliest
images of this
stunning Regency town, and compares the scene with
modern images. He tells the story of Cheltenham’s
history within his
informative captions. Featured here
are illustrations of the town centre
and its more famous buildings, along with once-outlying settlements
which have now been absorbed into the town itself. This intriguing
photographic collection is a must-have for all Cheltenham residents. |
