Opis

Wakefield, the capitol of the former West Riding of Yorkshire, has a long and distinguished past. It came to prominence as a center for the cloth trade in the latter half of the 15th century, the trade in cloth becoming a major part of the town's economy until recent years. By 1880, Wakefield as a town had expanded and gained many new institutions built on the wealth of the cloth trade, coal mining, and heavy industry. This book presents a glimpse into what the town scape of Wakefield was like at the close of the 19th century, and compares it to the modern city scape, that has constantly changed and evolved since 1880. Important buildings in today's City Scape are looked at in depth with concise histories of the building and the people that built or lived in these notable landmarks. The book also presents rare images and histories of many lost architectural treasures of Wakefield.
