This unique collection of pictures, many of them published for the first time, recalls the history of one of Hertfordshire's oldest towns. There were people living here before the Romans built a town, where Ermine Street crossed the River Lea. Ware later developed into an important coaching centre and the main supplier of malt to the brewers of London. Though many of the maltings and other old buildings have been demolished, it remains a town full of architectural and historical interest. Ware's Past in Pictures is based on the collection of old pictures maintained by the local conservation body, the Ware Society. The extensive text, written by two prominent members of the Society, adds considerably to the history of this ancient town. (From the dust jacket)
