Just how much has changed in Chippenham over the decades is clear
when you consider that Edward Hutton described 1920s Chippenham as
'one of the sleepiest places in England'. Today, the busy cattle
traders in the Market Place of the 1890s and Chippenham's tiny
1930s cottage hospital on London Road have now disappeared, but the
town's thriving population is at its highest-ever level, its
beautiful historic buildings are more in demand than ever, and new
industries, buildings and roads are appearing all the time. In this
fascinating book, local historian Mike Stone compares archive
images of Chippenham with modern photographs of the same scenes
today, chronicling the changing appearance of the town and
unveiling a wealth of historic detail and nostalgic memories sure
to captivate local residents and history enthusiasts alike.
