The fascinating history of Bitterne & West End illustrated through old and modern pictures.
Bitterne & West End Through Time is a unique insight into the illustrious history of this part of Hampshire. Reproduced in full colour, this is an exciting examination of Bitterne and West End, the famous streets and the famous faces, and what they meant to the people in this community throughout the 19th and into the 20th Century. Looking beyond the exquisite exterior of these well-kept photos, readers can see the historical context in which they are set, and through the author's factual captions for every picture and carefully-selected choice of images, the reader can achieve a reliable view of this area's history. Readers are invited to follow a timeline of events and watch the changing face of Bitterne and West End, as Keith Marsh guides us through the local streets. There is something for everyone here, whether they have lived in the area all their lives, or whether they are just visiting. It also shows how photography has continually evolved to keep up with an ever-changing society.

The imminent construction of the Bitterne bypass was the catalyst for the formation of Bitterne Local History Society in 1981. Local people, keen to ensure that the area's heritage was not lost under the bulldozers, began salvaging items of interest. The society is dedicated to studying and researching the history of Southampton in general, but with particular reference to the City areas east of the River Itchen. Its objective is to promote an interest in local history and preserve and protect features and items of historic interest.
