Inhaltsangabe

This fascinating book is a guide to Dover's history, using over 150 images to illustrate how the town has developed into its present form. Recalling a bygone era, this volume explores Dover's most important features and attractions, and shows how they have evolved through several generations. Comparing modern photographs with rare images from the past, this collection documents the many changes that have taken place, but also includes the familiar sights that remain unspoilt by modern progress. Accompanied by informative captions, the true character of Dover is recreated through these evocative and compelling images of famous landmarks such as the docks, the White Cliffs and Dover Castle. Whether a resident or one of the town's many visitors, this nostalgic reminder of Dover's past is an essential companion to anyone interested in the town's rich history.
