Ely in Old Photographs is a wonderful collection of archive images
that records the life of Ely through the ages. Chris Jakes takes us
on a journey, looking at the city's life, streets and businesses
during the Victorian and Edwardian periods, between the wars and in
the postwar era. He also includes detailed information on the
evolution of the drainage system in the surrounding fens, upon
which the prosperity of Ely has always depended. It also shows the
consequences of its failure, when nature has triumphed over man's
ingenuity. The final section of the book takes a look at the group
of small villages which lie within the city boundary, but which are
some 2 to 7 miles distant from the city itself. They all have their
own character and sense of community, and are proud to be both
separate yet part of the whole. From Ely Cathedral to the River
Great Ouse, this book covers the history and heritage of Ely and
the surrounding area, using images to bring the past to life.
