Guildford Through Time Revised Edition by David Rose

Guildford Through Time provides a unique insight into the illustrious history of this part of the country. Reproduced in full colour, this is an exciting examination of Guildford, including the famous streets and faces, and what they meant to the people of this area throughout the nineteenth and into the twentieth century. Looking beyond the exquisite exterior of these well-kept and carefully selected photographs, readers can see the historical context in which they are set, and through the authors’ factual captions the reader can achieve a detailed view of Guildford’s history. Readers are invited to discover how the town has progressed over a century as the authors guide us through the streets of Guildford, from the bustling town to the serene country scenery. Whether it is a nostalgic look into the past for residents or as a guide for visiting tourists, there is something for everybody within this book.
