Augustus Writer's Chesham into the 1920s
By John Rowland, Carolyn Birch and Peter Hawkes
A photographer’s record of daily Chesham life 100 years ago.
Moving to Bellingdon Road, Chesham from London in 1913, Writer brought a loving lens to family and town.
His was an artist’s eye, which found places, people and events of exceptional interest and endowed them with that intuitive flair which marks out the true recorder, who sees that which the rest of us pass by. Haymaking, the river, the town’s yards and backwaters, funfairs, the church, railway and Lowndes Park, The Bury, domestic life and WWI peace celebrations – all give us a glimpse of a very different town 100 years ago.
210 x 210mm softback with spine and 88 pages in sepia.
Printed in the UK Price: £14.95
ISBN: 9781838335823
