See the changing face of Ashford, Kent, in this new title from well-known local author Steve R Salter. Focusing on the period covering the 1950s, 60s and 70s, the reader is taken on a journey from pre-change to post-change, using a well-devised balance of both colour and black and white images from the author's extensive archive on the town, including many recently acquired and never printed before. The images depict life in Ashford and its immediate surrounding during uncertain times for many, and many of the intense changes to the town are clearly illustrated. The focus is on 'living memory', and will bring a tear to the eye of those who witnessed and experienced these changes. book covers a wide spectrum of subjects, including former traders, shops and features of the town, long lost streets and memorable events in its recent history. The book includes clear and informative captions and also recently discovered imagery that has lay undiscovered for years.
