Are you a family member or an ancestor in one of the 100's of pictures?
The residents of Cheltenham, a lovely town, take great pride in their strong sense of community. Local writer Elaine Heasman has assembled more than 250 old photos of Cheltenham for this book, using them to convey the town's evolving character and the people who have called it home. These pictures give life to Cheltenham's bygone eras. Images of landmarks, festivities, local ads, and historical figures from Cheltenham are featured in the book. Photographs of cadets on manoeuvre in 1897, a tennis match in Pittville Park in 1908, Prestbury High Street in 1934, and bathers at the Lido in the 1950s are among the several unique pieces in this varied collection. This book is for you if you are a lifelong Cheltonian; in fact, you could be in it! You or your friends and family will recognise most, if not all, of the scenes. In case you haven't had the pleasure of getting to know the town for a long time, this intimate and captivating look back will help you understand what it was like to call this place home.
