Yarmouth and Gorleston 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 Yarmouth and Gorleston, the famous streets and the famous faces, and what they meant to the local people 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 the history of these towns. Readers are invited to follow a timeline of events and watch the changing face of the area, as Frank Meeres guides us through Yarmouth and Gorleston's streets. There is something for everyone here, whether they have lived here all their lives, or whether they are just visiting for the first time. This book also shows how photography has continually evolved to keep up with an ever-changing society.
