Published by Tempus Publishing Ltd. 1st 1999. Slightly better than very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper.

A comprehensive guide for the local historian. Researching the twentieth century can be problematic with the sheer volume of sources available.

Black cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos and illustrations. 160 pages including index. ISBN: 0752414267. Minor foxspots to top edge of text block. Contents clean.
