Description

Plymouth grew up round its sheltered harbour on the River Plym on the South Coast of England. The naval dockyard became an important employer in the city and although smaller still has a significant presence. Plymouth Gin has also defined the city for generations but today’s Plymouth has substantially changed in recent decades with much of the city centre rebuilt.

Lost Plymouth presents a portrait of this corner of the South West over the last century to recent decades that has radically changed or disappeared today, showing not only industries and buildings that have gone but also people and street scenes, many popular places of entertainment and much more. This fascinating photographic history of lost Plymouth will appeal to all those who live in the area or know it well, as well as those who remember it from previous decades.
