Description

It is said, and not without some justification, that a picture is worth a thousand words.

As it happens Southwold, very nearly England's most easterly town, is endlessly written about.

Its charm, grace and pure magic have captivated writers and journalists ever since Daniel Defoe visited in 1713.

But this book tells the story of Southwold over the last 100 years in pictures.

The photographers seized opportunities presented by the late Victorian and early Edwardian era - whcih also proved to be the golden age of the postcard - to capture Southwold on their glass plate negatives, and also on film.

It is all here: the beach, the common, the sea, the town, the people, the wars and the special Southwold occasions. And of course there are some lovely pictures of the eccentric little railway that helped turn a town that lived mainly by fishing into a genteel holiday resort.

This book will delight all those who love Southwold and understand its funny ways.
