Fifteen years after the first town history appeared, this sequel to The Book of Amersham takes the story a stage further - from 1800 to date. Here are the high days of the coaching era, when carriers slowly ploughed through dreadful roads; here too, the railway revolution which brought Metroland to the Misbourne vale. As the spec builders profited, church and school developed, theatre and cinema came and went, pubs proliferated, news was made in a chemist's shop and squire and rector made way for local government and commuter-credit. Market and fair gave way to store and superstore, traffic clogged even Amersham's wide High Street, and the railways were electrified. Amersham became a commuter paradise and the original town host to tourists. Wars took away the young men, and brought strange crafts; a statue paused in Broadway where the cottages once stood, and even the atomic age found a place in Amersham Common. Yesterday's Town: Amersham tells the story of two centuries, recording change and reminding us that heritage is a moveable feast. Hardcover, Edition: 1st, Label: Barracuda Books, Barracuda Books, Product group: Book, Published: 1991-05-10, Studio: Barracuda Books.
