Beschrijving
A fascinating collection of over 200 historic images and postcards tracing Sheldon’s transformation from a rural village into a Birmingham suburb.
This absorbing collection of old images traces the development of Sheldon from an agricultural village at the turn of the twentieth century into a sprawling residential suburb in the City of Birmingham.
Illustrated with over 200 photographs and postcards drawn from the archive held at Birmingham Central Library, this fascinating selection features some of the important events and changes that have occurred during the last century, including the construction of the municipal airport in nearby Elmdon, a pretty Warwickshire parish adjoining Sheldon. Aspects of everyday life are also featured, from schools and churches, farms and cottages, shops and public houses – such as the Wagon and Horses and The Bell Inn – to celebrations and outings to the nearby countryside.
Accompanied by supporting text, this book is a valuable pictorial history which will reawaken nostalgic memories for some, while offering a unique glimpse of the past for others.
