Batsford's Cambridge Then and Now

New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

With its narrow streets stubbornly resistant to traffic, some views of Cambridge have changed remarkably little over the centuries – a continuity reflected in these 100 vintage photographs, each paired with a modern colour equivalent and explanatory text. The Mathematical Bridge, King’s College Chapel and Wren’s library at Trinity all retain their historic appeal, while a 1960s photograph of New Hall’s concrete dome under construction offers a rare glimpse of modernity.
