| Publisher Description: This book, a collection of photographs of rural dwellings that have long since vanished, and those that still stand but have changed beyond all recognition, records the changes inflicted upon the Lancashire townships of Maghull and Lydiate by the turnpike, the canal, the railways and the more modern demands of nearby Liverpool. It shows cobbled streets, peaceful tree-lined roads, village schools and shops: a way of life now lost in an area that helped pioneer changes in British medicine. |
