From medieval times, with its legendary kings and queens through to the dawn of the new millennium, Tamworth has remained one of the most fascinating towns of central England. With its famous sons including Sir Robert Peel, one of Britain's most respected prime ministers, and Sir Thomas Guy, founder of Guy's Hospital in London, the town has produced a number of famous figures. But it is not just its famous figures that have made this bustling market town the success that it is today as this collection of over 200 fascinating photographs shows. Whether it be the market square with its traders selling their goods from all over the empire or the beautiful churches and surrounding villages, the photographs here give a unique insight into everyday life during the early part of the twentieth century. No collection of pictures of Tamworth would be complete without looking at the historical castle, its grounds and the many grand manor houses that once stood in the surrounding area. Canwell Hall, Hints Hall and of course Drayton Manor are shown here in all their grandeur, allowing the reader a peep inside these exclusive and sadly lost great houses. This selection of photographs brings Tamworth's past to life and gives the reader a wonderful glimpse into every aspect of a bygone age.
