The pictures on the following pages were selected for an exhibition of how the Borough looked around 1900. A few of the pictures are rather older and one or two more recent but they still give a good flavour of how things have changed in your part of LBoB! Just click on the location of your choice. For much more background information on all these pictures, the towns and villages, look in (or buy) the BBLHS book number 10.If you have any pictures from this period you would like to add to this collection, especially as some areas are poorly represented, please let us know!
