Author Description

Formby & Freshfield 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 the area, the famous streets and the famous faces, and what they meant to the local people 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. Through the author's factual captions for every picture, and carefully-selected choice of images, the reader can achieve a reliable view of the area's history. There is something for everyone here, whether they have lived here all their lives, or whether they are just visiting for the first time. It also shows how photography has continually evolved to keep up with an ever changing society.
