Changing Wakefield

New Paperback Illustrated

Postscript summary

Juxtaposing images from the late 19th and early 20th centuries with contemporary colour photographs, this book offers a graphic local history of Wakefield. As well as dramatic changes in the built environment – even the well preserved West Riding County Council is now surrounded by the trappings of motorized traffic – the pictures show social changes in how people work, play and travel.
