This month, I have two new books coming out, both from Amberley Publishing. The first, which is out today, is called 'Saltash Through Time' and features 92 old photos together with 92 colour newer photos. The book features Fore Street, Waterside, Sand Quay, Port View, the Tamar and Royal Albert bridges as well as a look at nearby villages including St Stephens, Forder and Antony Passage. The photos show the many changes that have taken place in the area over the last 100 years or so. Some areas have seen major differences with many new buildings replacing ones destroyed in the Second World War or during more modern improvements. Some areas have hardly changed at all.
The second book is 'The Rame Peninsula Through Time'. Rame is one of my favourite places and I especially enjoy visiting the Mount Edgcumbe Estate. Within the book are many photos of old and new Mount Edgcumbe as well as pictures of Cawsand, Kingsand, Fort Picklecombe, Whitsands, Rame Head, Maker and Port Wrinkle. This book should be out sometime next week. More details can be found about both books by clicking on the links on the right hand side of this blog. I hope that you will find them both enjoyable and interesting.
