The fascinating history of central Birmimgham, illustrated through old and modern pictures.
Central Birmingham Through Time is a unique insight into the illustrious history of this major city. Reproduced in full colour, this is an exciting examination of its well-known streets and famous faces, and what they meant to the people of this area 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 the city's history. There is something for everyone here, whether they have lived in Birmingham all their lives, or whether they are just visiting for the first time. Central Birmingham Through Time also shows how photography has continually evolved to keep up with an ever changing society.

Eric Armstrong was born, raised and educated in Handsworth, Birmingham. Following army service during 1942 to 1947, he became a student at Birmingham University. During retirement he has developed a keen interest in postcards of old Birmingham and has written a number of historical books about the city. Vernon is a local history author who lives in London.
