This nostalgic compilation of interesting, full-colour photographs displays the changes that the county town of Warwick has gone through during the last century. Life before the Second World War was not always a bed of roses; slum dwellings sat forlornly beside neighbouring streets of picturesque Tudor and grand Regency buildings. A town of many contrasts, Warwick has undergone rapid and radical developments, but has still managed to preserve its historic character. Featuring never-before-published photographs, accompanied with unique local knowledge, Warwick Then & Now will provide locals and visitors alike with a pictorial contrast of the sleepy town of yesteryear and the bustling tourist destination it is today. LYNNE R. WILLIAMS is a well-travelled local history enthusiast. She has a degree in social studies from the University of Warwick, and has worked in both private and public sectors, in particular for the charity Age Concern. Now retired, Lynne spends her time researching history, and has produced a book about post-war Warwick. She lives in Warwick.
