A history group has published a book about Chipping Norton’s past and present.
Chipping Norton Through Time has gone on sale after three months of hard work by members of the town’s Local History Society.
The group was asked by Amberley Publishing to gather 100 photos from the town’s past, then take pictures of the same landmarks or areas today.
Brenda Morris, of Walterbush Road, helped to create the book. She said: “The town has changed quite a lot, not always to the good, and a lot of the streets have changed completely.”
Three other members of the society took part in the process of compiling the book – Pauline Watkins, Alan Watkins, and Elizabeth Whitaker.
The society was formed more than 30 years ago, with the aim of opening a museum, which was achieved in 1985.
The society has previously published four other books, including Around Chipping Norton in Old Photographs.
- Chipping Norton Through Time is available at local bookshops, priced £12.99.
