Francis Frith's Windmills and Watermills: Photographic Memories by Anthony Bryan

Francis Frith's Windmills and Watermills: Photographic Memories by Anthony Bryan

Model Number: 9781859372425

£7.00 GBP
This evocative collection of archive photographs from the world-famous Francis Frith Collection shows a selection of the windmills and watermills of Britain as they were recorded on glass plate and film in past times.

The earliest pictures date from the 1880s, and many show mills while they were still being used for grinding grain, pumping water and, in the case of watermills, powering machinery for manufacturing processes.

The accompanying text describes the mills, and offers fascinating insights into the lives of country millers and their customers. This book will provide many hours of enjoyable reading and reminiscing.

Frith’s historic photographs are renowned the world over for their clarity and fine detail. Unlike many local history books that reproduce old postcards, this book is packed with high-quality photographs carefully chosen from the Frith archive, and in which you will find much fascinating detail. Most have not been published in book form before.

Hardback.
