Rutland Through Time contains 180 photographs of Rutland, of which 90 are old photographs.

Some printed in a sepia tone and some printed in full colour. These photographs are printed alongside a contemporary full colour photograph which illustrates the same scene.

The contrasting illustrations show how the area has changed and developed during the last 100 years. The photographs illustrate shops, schools, garages, churches, houses and street scenes, each photograph is captioned and the book has an introduction which gives a brief overview of the history of the county and the source of the old images.

As you browse through the photographs, you will notice the increase in the number of vehicles on the road, shops that once sold new goods are now estate agents or charity shops. Green fields have been transformed into industrial estates, houses or ring roads.

Most of the old images have been taken from the Jack Hart Collection at Rutland County Museum

From the publisher:

The Amberley THROUGH TIME series is an exciting development for local interest publishing, printed on quality paper and  with the use of full colour throughout - on every page. 

The books are in the form of ‘then and now’ with archive photographs produced in a rich sepia and new photographs in full colour printed on quality paper.

This series truly brings local interest publishing into the 21st Century and is an evocative addition to bookshelves, proving to be of interest to young and old alike."
