Bicester and Chesterton by Bicester Local History Society
This fascinating book of over 200 old photographs provides a glimpse of life in the market town of Bicester and the nearby village of Chesterton over the last 100 years. The quieter pace of village life in the last years of the nineteenth century is also documented. Included within this compilation are images of lively street scenes, sports teams, dramatic productions and special events in the lives of local individuals. The scenes of Bicester have been assembled from small private collections held by local people with a family history in the town; the photographs of Chesterton were salvaged from bonfire several years ago. Also included in this compilation are original photographs which appeared in the Picture Post in 1950. For anybody who either knows and loves this part of Oxfordshire or is a newcomer to the rapidly growing town of Bicester, this book is an opportunity to gain an insight into an important part of Bicester and Chesterton's history.| SKU | Unavailable |
