Product Description Wallsend has a rich heritage, which is uniquely reflected in this delightful, full-color compilation. Contrasting a selection of 45 archive images alongside modern photographs taken from the same location, this new book reveals the changing faces, buildings, and streets of Wallsend during the last century. Comparing the workers of yesteryear with today's trades-people, along with some famous landmarks and little-known street scenes, this is a wide-ranging look at the area's absorbing history. Wallsend Then & Now will provide visitors with a glimpse of how the town used to be, in addition to awakening nostalgic memories for those who live or work here. About the Author Rob Kirkup is a keen local and paranormal historian. He is the author of a number of books, including Newcastle Then & Now and Ghostly Cumbria.
