Central Leicester in old photographs |
|
A collection of over two hundred previously unpublished old photographs presenting a pictorial history of central Leicester. Despite the city's motto semper eadem `Always the Same', Leicester has witnessed great change over the past 150 years, with continued progress and expansion, the development of industry and the establishment of a number of well-known brands in the area. This book navigates the streets of the old town with detailed and informative captions describing buildings, shops, pubs and transport. Landmarks such as the cathedral, clock tower and theatres are illustrated on the way. Busy street scenes give a real sense of Leicester's diversity as the reader meets groups and faces from the past. This nostalgic record, compiled and edited by Stephen Butt who is the creator and owner of this website, will delight all who have lived or worked in Leicester, and is a powerful reminder of the way things used to be. This book was first published by Tempus Publishing in September 2005 and reprinted in March 2009 by The History Press. |
