Overview

Drawn from the extensive archives of Warrington Museum, these fascinating images of old Warrington were captured by the town's amateur and professional cameramen from the infancy of the the Borough and of photography itself. Family albums, business archives, newspaper images, official record shots and picture postcards recall the days of the horseless carriage, narrow winding streets, half-timbered buildings, forgotten landmarks, royal visits, Warrington at work and at leisure. There are unique images of Gladstone and the cutting of the Manchester Ship Canal - but above all this book features ordinary people in their everyday lives - caught for a moment for posterity.
