Publisher's Synopsis
Whitehaven & Around From Old Photographs contains a collection of never-before-seen vintage photographs from the town and surrounding areas, collected together into one volume and spanning Whitehaven's heyday as a mining and shipbuilding town. Organised into sections featuring streets, industry, churches, sport and recreation, this book will be your guide through the Whitehaven of yesterday. Each picture provides a forgotten insight into how day-to-day life used to be in Whitehaven and details the town's development over the years. Join local author Alan W. Routledge as he looks back through these wonderful images and discusses just how this port town has changed over time.
