Synopsis: |
Each and every image has been published here for the first time. Written by a dedicated Durham City historian whose working knowledge of the city and its surrounds spans 30 years, this title presents an opportunity for locals to explore and research their family history in their own homes. "Durham City New Discoveries" is a new book bringing together over 460 photographs covering all aspects of life in and around the city from days gone by. A special feature of this volume is that all of the images are published here for the first time. This unique collection is a welcome addition to Michael's other works. It is comprised of seven sections: The Built Environment, Durham People, Special Events and Occasions, Working Life, Sport Leisure and Education, The Defence of the Realm, and Around Durham. There is no doubt that this volume will become a valued possession of those who have an affection for this cathedral city. |
