This fascinating selection of photographs illustrates the extraordinary transformation that has taken place in Chester during the twentieth century. The book offers an insight into the daily lives and living conditions of local people and gives the reader glimpses and details of familiar places during a century of unprecedented change.

The book also provides a striking account of the changes that have taken place on the streets of the city and records the process of transformation. Drawing on detailed local knowledge of the community, and illustrated with a wealth of black and white photographs, this book recalls what has changed in Chester in terms of buildings, traditions and ways of life. It also acknowledges and celebrates the character and energy of local people as they moved through the first years of this new century.
