Guildford Past and Present (Britain in Old Photographs (History Press))

Guildford still retains much of its "Olde Worlde" charm in the 21st century; it is what makes it such a popular place for tourists from all over the world who come and take photographs of the Guildhall, the castle, and the picturesque River Wey. Most of the images in this book are from Philip Hutchinson’s personal collection and are appearing here in print for the first time. Some of the places featured include the High Street in Victorian times, Guildford shops in the 1950s, and the Royal Grammar School. This new publication will be of interest in its own right or as a companion to those photographic books of memories that have gone before and will appeal to local people and visitors.
