Skipton Through Time is a unique insight into the illustrious history of this part of the country. Reproduced in full colour, this is an exciting examination of Skipton, its well-known streets and famous faces, and what they meant to the people of this town throughout the 19th and into the 20th Century. Looking beyond the exquisite exterior of these well-kept photos, readers can see the historical context in which they are set, and through the author's factual captions for every picture, and carefully-selected choice of images, the reader can achieve a reliable view of this market town's history. Readers are invited to follow a timeline of events and watch the changing face of Skipton, as Ken Ellwood guides us through the local streets. There is something for everyone here, whether they have lived in the area all their lives, or whether they are just visiting for the first time. Skipton Through Time also shows how photography has continually evolved to keep up with an ever changing society.
Ken Ellwood first moved to Skipton in the 1950s to take up a post with the West Riding County Council. He and his wife immersed themselves in the life and history of Skipton, taking up membership of several local history societies. Ken gave talks and slide shows on his hobbies, which include aerial photography, walking and steam locomotion. Ken's previous books include Skipton: A Pictorial Recollection, Life in Old Skipton, Skipton: Images of England and Skipton Through Time.
