Marlow Past and Present

Marlow is a charming old town set on the River Thames and surrounded by rolling countryside, with the Chiltern Hills to the north. Today the river is purely for leisure and you can always see leisure boats and cruising barges traveling up and down throughout the year. This fascinating book charts the history of Marlow through a variety of images depicting scenes of yesteryear along with contrasting images of contemporary views from over 100 years later. Where possible, the modern photographs have been taken from the same vantage points to illustrate how the town has changed over the century. With pictures accompanied by informative captions, this volume will rekindle fond memories in the older members of the town, and reveal a different Marlow for the younger members.
