Easton

Easton

Veronica Smith
0/5 ( ratings)
This pictorial tour of old Easton contains over 200 photographs, none of which have appeared in previous publications. This evocative collection of images invites you to walk again on the pavement of bygone times and recalls the distinctive character of the district , much of which has been sacrificed for modern tower blocks and the building of Easton Way. In this book familiar characters from the past are encountered as we wave off charabanc parties and observe children playing in thoroughfares free from traffic and pollution. Within these covers we watch the curtain go up on performances of the Tudor Players back in the 1940's witness weddings and join in some of the street parties of long ago. The pictures include class groups of all the local schools from the turn of the century until the 1970's and many shots of streets, shops and public houses long since disappeared. Anyone who has ever lived or worked in Easton will have their memories rekindled by this fascinating selection which glances back across the years to a time before inner-city development swept away an entire community. This paperback book has 128 pages and measures: 23.5 x 16.5 x 0.8cm
