The blurb the publishers, Amberley, have put out is as follows -
"Yeovil
rose to
prominence in
the 1800s as a
major centre of
glove making. By
the early
twentieth
century it was
dominated by the
defence
industry, making
it a target for
German bombers
during the
Second World
War. Between
1940 and 1942
over one hundred
high explosive
bombs fell on
the town,
damaging
thousands of
buildings.
Today, Yeovil's
association with
the aircraft and
defence
industries
continues with
Augusta/Westland
helicopters
being the
largest
employer.
Yeovil From Old
Photographs
charts the
town's proud and
distinctive
history through
a fascinating
selection of old
photographs,
prints and
postcards,
showing what
life was like
for Yeovil's
past residents
and bearing
witness to the
celebrations and
the struggles of
this Somerset
town. Written by
local historian
Bob Osborn, this
book will inform
and delight
long-time
residents and
those new to the
town."
