Chichester - An Illustrated History (Paperback)

This is a fascinating account of the developments that created Chichester. It offers an insight into the events and individuals who shaped the town's history. It is illustrated with hundred of photographs, maps and drawings. Ken Green's densely illustrated history of Chichester gives a fascinating account of the varied and surprising events, personalities and wider developments that created the town of the present day. In a series of vivid historical snapshots, he takes the reader through thousands of years of history, from the earliest known prehistoric settlement, through the Roman and medieval periods, to the thriving but well-preserved town of today. He writes of the building of the castle and the cathedral and the medieval layout of the town's streets, which still survives. More recent developments are described too - hospitals, schools, churches, chapels, Victorian terraces, modern estates, the railway and modern roads, all of which make up the contemporary city. At the same time he gives a telling insight into the significant events and individuals who shaped the town's history. His book is illustrated with hundreds of photographs, maps and drawings from the author's collection, from the Chichester Observer and the West Sussex Record Office, and it will be essential reading for every Chichester resident, past and present.
