Although often seen as a rural backwater, Halstead and the villages of the Colne Valley are thriving communities with a colourful history and lively present. This fascinating collection of over 200 old photographs covers nearly 100 years of that history, from the closing decades of the nineteenth century to the late 1960s. During this time industries have changed, shops have come and gone and Halstead has developed into an important commuter town, necessitating many new developments.
This comprehensive selection of pictures begins with a tour of Halstead itself, in which views and buildings long gone mix with those which survive to the present day. Next, a group of chapters records the social life of the town, including work, school, sport and special occasions such Coronations and Jubilees. The last chapter explores the villages of the Colne Valley and their inhabitants.
This interesting and information compilation uses pictures drawn mainly from the author's own collection. It will doubtless appeal to all those who have fond memories of how Halstead used to be or who wish to learn more about the town's past.
