Inhaltsangabe

Beccles Through Time is a unique insight into the illustrious history of this Suffolk town. Reproduced in full colour, this is an exciting examination of Beccles, the famous streets and the famous faces, and what they meant to the people who lived there throughout the nineteenth and into the twentieth centuries. 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 town's history. Readers are invited to follow a timeline of events and watch the changing face of the town, as Michael Chandler guides us through the local streets. There is something for everyone here, whether they have lived in the area all their lives, or whether they are just visiting. It also shows how photography has continually evolved to keep up with an ever changing society.
