Winson Green to Brookfields Through Time by Ted Rudge

Winson Green to Brookfields Through Time by Ted Rudge

Winson Green and Brookfields Through Time is a unique insight into the illustrious history of part of Birmingham. Reproduced in full colour, this is an exciting examination of Winson Green and Brookfields, the famous streets and the famous faces, and what they meant to the people of the Midlands 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, and through the author's factual captions for every picture and carefully-selected choice of images, the reader can achieve a reliable view of the city's history. Readers are invited to follow a timeline of events and watch the changing face of the city, as Ted Rudge 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 this fabulous city. It also shows how photography has continually evolved to keep up with an ever changing society.

Ted Rudge is a well-known local figure in the area. He has recently completed a dissertation at Birmingham University under another well-known man - Carl Chinn. He has a deep interest in the area, and devotes much of his time to studying and writing about local history. He lives in Shirley with his wife, and runs a Winson Green website.
