Norman Ellis
Bygone Wakefield & District
Following the success of the author? first delve into the history of Wakefield, there was considerable demand for a sequel. So here it is!
Once again Norman Ellis has managed to find a great selection of old photographs and information about his home city of Wakefield.
The book takes a look at many of the city? outlying areas and illustrates the information with fascinating photographs of times past. The author also talks about the history of local schools, commercial life, the heart of the city, local churches and much more.
Books like this with old photographs always capture the imagination as they fascinate readers with a look back at how things used to be. This is an excellent example of an interesting and very readable look back in time.
A must for all those who love the area as much as the author himself!
