Riassunto:
As the county town of Essex since the thirteenth century, Chelmsford was the original site of the local assize, and is today a bustling market town. Chelmsford's history is omnipresent; the city boasts a magnificent fifteenth-century cathedral, and its former courthouse, the Shire Hall, opened in 1791. The birthplace of such prominent companies as Britvic and Marconi, the town continues to be an important commercial centre. Today, Chelmsford has something for everyone. Surrounded by picturesque villages and greenery, the city itself has a vibrant cultural life. Within half an hour of central London, the city is perfectly situated for city commuters and tourists alike. Using both old and new photographs, author Jim Reeve takes the reader on a nostalgic trip through Chelmsford, showing how it has grown and flourished over time.
Informazioni sull?autore: Jim Reeve is the chair of the Brentwood Writers' Circle, and has worked in the area as a housing officer for more than twenty years. He has written two books about Chelmsford and has published six books overall. He has spent most of his life in and around the City having been sent to his grandparents in Essex to escape the bombing during the Second World War. He remembers the figure of his grandfather taking him to Chelmsford Market on a bone shaker, single-decker bus. Having spent a great deal of his childhood and working life in the area, he has been able to turn back the cover of history revealing some golden nuggets of the past.
