Rhondda Collieries Through Time

de Alun Seward e David Swidenbank

15,90€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Rhondda'' - even now, the name evokes the turbulent times when Rhondda (actually two valleys, the Fawr and Fach) was synonymous with the deep-mining of steam coal. This is a story of pioneering deep-mining and unbridled capitalism: the prospecting of two valleys, unfettered by health and safety, amid divisive industrial relations and scarce health-care. The result fired railways, steam-powered shipping and the engines of the Industrial Revolution across the world. Using a mixture of historical and modern photographs, coloured by personal testimony and memories, this book reveals the vibrant, turbulent, often tragic record of Rhondda: from pastoral vale via ''black gold''-rush to grimy industrial prime, followed by the twentieth-century economic slide, the demise of all its fifty-three collieries and today''s valleys - a mainly residential landscape of green hills.

Kent'S Seaside Resorts Through Time

de John Clancy

15,90€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Kent has one of the longest coastlines in Britain and was at the forefront of the growth of the British seaside industry from the eighteenth century onwards when sea bathing became fashionable. The Kent coast is within relatively easy access of London, so a day trip to the coast became a great attraction for fashionable Londoners. For the most part, transport to these fashionable new resorts was by ship but as some resorts did not have a harbour there was a problem getting passengers ashore.By the mid-nineteenth century the piers had become the most fashionable place to promenade in town. They quickly evolved into attractions in their own right with ornate pavilions containing all sorts of amusements as well as tearooms. Iconic emblems of the seaside experience and unique attractions, the new seaside resorts fiercely contested to have the best showpiece pleasure pier.

Hertford Through Time

de Jean Purkis, Peter Ruffles e Stephen Jeffery-Poulter

15,90€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Located in the heart of the Home Counties, Hertford has retained its identity as the administrative capital of ''The Shire of Hertford'' for 1,000 years and yet has managed to remain a small, almost ''self-sufficient'' town. The arable land surrounding Hertford led to the creation of its staple industry of brewing, with mills and maltings dominating the sky-line alongside civic buildings and private homes when many of the early photographs in this book were taken over a century ago. The book contains period photographs, many being published here for the very first time, which have mainly been sourced from Hertford Museum''s extensive archive. The contrasting illustrations provide an accessible and interesting way of seeing the extraordinary changes that have taken place in this charming and historic market town over a century or more of evolution, expansion and re-development.

Changes to transport from the days of horse and carts, to trams and motorisation have brought other more noticeable changes in terms of traffic schemes and street signs in abundance and of course, the ''one way systems''. Halifax Through Time brings these changes to life contrasting the ''old'' and ''new'' and if the reader was so inclined, by following the structured sequence of photographs, provides a fascinating reference for a stroll around the town.

Banff Through Time

de Banff Preservation & Heritage Society

15,90€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Situated at the mouth of the River Deveron on the Moray Firth, the Royal and Ancient Burgh of Banff grew up round a royal castle. Most of the historic town is Georgian, filled with the townhouses of the gentry who came from miles around to the county town. It was Jacobite and lived by smuggling, with two earls, Findlater and Fife, struggling for dominance. Banff''s long heritage is evident in landmarks that date from the eighteenth century and before. The later story of Victorian Banff is very different. The town prospered through the herring trade, and was known for its wealth of shops and civic pride. This diverse history and Banff Preservation & Heritage Society''s battles against thoughtless demolitions in the 1960s are presented in this unique volume of old and modern photographs. By exploring what was lost, but also what was saved, Banff is seen in a new light.
