Having grown up as a small Roman settlement where Ermine Street
crossed the River Lea, Ware came into its own in the Middle Ages as
an important stopping place on the Old North Road to and from
London. The booming inn trade was boosted by the Great Bed of Ware,
mentioned by Shakespeare among others. This was replaced by a major
new industry - the making of malt for the brewing industry -
particularly brown malt that was used to make porter. The modern
town still boasts a wealth of old buildings as well as the charming
riverside gazebos which have recently been restored. The book
contains over 90 period pictures which have been sourced from Ware
Museum's image archive. The contrasting modern colour images
provide an accessible and interesting way of seeing the many
changes that have taken place in this attractive and historic town
over decades of evolution, expansion and re-development.
