Tamworth:
Past and Present
John Harper
Tamworth: Past and Present gives a vivid
insight into the dramatic developments that have taken
place in the town in the recent past.
John Harper’s fascinating book recalls streets,
houses and public buildings, shops, businesses and
pubs that have vanished or been altered almost beyond
recognition. The reader is taken on a conducted tour
through the past and present streets of this ancient
town, and is encouraged to compare present day streetscapes
with archive photographs and other ilustrations created
from the same viewpoint. The resulting contrast offers
an illuminating insight into the evolution of the
town over the last 200 years.
The book – featuring many never-before-seen
photographs by Paul Barber – is essential reading
for anyone who is interested in how the Tamworth of
yesterday evolved into the town of today.
