Oxenhope & Stanbury Through Time contains 180 photographs of Oxenhope
and Stanbury, of which 90 are old photographs. Some printed in a sepia
tone and some printed in full colour. These photographs are printed
along side a contemporary full colour photograph which illustrates the
same scene. The contrasting illustrations show how the area has changed
and developed during the last 100 years. The photographs illustrate
shops, schools, garages, churches, houses and street scenes, each
photograph is captioned and the book has an introduction which gives a
brief overview of the history of these villages. As you browse through
the photographs, you will notice the increase in the number of vehicles
on the road, shops that once sold new goods are now estate agents or
charity shops. Green fields have been transformed into industrial
estates, houses or ring roads.
