Publisher Description: From the historic county town of Winchester to the coastal ports of Southampton and Portsmouth, and from the rural villages of the New Forest to the market towns in the heart of the county, Hampshire is a unique and varied county with a rich cultural heritage. "Hampshire Past & Present" contrasts a selection of 100 old photographs alongside modern ones taken from similar locations, to demonstrate the changes that have occurred in a scene over the intervening years. Fascinating images of city centers, housing, shops, and people at work and play bring Hampshire s history to life. It is a captivating insight into the changes and developments that have taken place over the years, and an enjoyable read from cover to cover." |
