A Century of Cheltenham cover

This fascinating selection of photographs illustrates the extraordinary transformation that has taken place in Cheltenham during the twentieth century. The book offers an insight into the daily lives and living conditions of local people and gives the reader glimpses and details of familiar places during a century of unprecedented change. Many aspects of Cheltenham’s recent history are covered, famous occasions and individuals are remembered, and the impact of national and international events is witnessed. The book also provides a striking account of the changes that have also altered Cheltenham’s appearance, and records the process of transformation. Drawing on detailed local knowledge of the community, and illustrated with a wealth of black and white photographs, this book recalls what Cheltenham has lost in terms of buildings, traditions and ways of life. It also acknowledges and celebrates the character and energy of local people as they moved through the first years of this new century.
