Bicester Reflections, Paperback / softback Book

Bicester Reflections Paperback / softback

Part of the Reflections series

Paperback / softback

Description

After many years of expansion and redevelopment Bicester has grown and changed considerably from the little Oxfordshire market town that it once was.

Some parts of the town appear noticeably different to how they were a few generations ago, and when you look at some photographs of Victorian or pre-war Bicester it seems almost unrecognisable.

Amidst all the changes however, some familiar landmarks have remained largely untouched, such as the town's medieval St Edburg's parish church and Market Square.

This collection of photographs tries to cover both the changes and the consistencies to show how Bicester has developed and how its character remains. Bicester Reflections features an exciting collection of historic and modern pictures that are individually merged to reveal how the area has changed over the decades.

Each of the 180 pictures in this book combines a recent colour view of Bicester with the matching sepia archive scene.

Through the split-image effect, readers can see how streets, buildings and everyday life have transformed with the passing of time.

Local author Matthew Hathaway presents this fascinating visual chronicle that ingeniously reflects past and present glimpses of Bicester.
