Dudley: Images of England

Más información sobre el libro

This fascinating collection of over 200 archive photographs highlights some of the changes and developments that have taken place in Dudley over the last 150 years. Originally a medieval market town, Dudley was shaped by the Industrial Revolution and occupied an integral place at the heart of the Black Country. Detailed captions bring colour to each photograph and provide a valuable insight into life in the town. Every aspect of Dudley is explored, from the people and buildings of this strong community to market days, transport and shops; from the highest tower of the castle to the subterranean limestone caverns beneath Castle Hill. This book will serve as a touching reminder of the past, awakening memories of Dudley as it once was, and it will be a useful resource for anyone interested in the history of the town and its people.
