"PICKERING THROUGH TIME"
GORDON CLITHEROE

            Another selection of old photographs of Pickering in sepia with up-to-date shots of today`s town in colour on the same page to intrigue us or make us smile.  Many of the old snaps depict the social life at the time: parades; picnics and at work, but what are the quarrymen men in  hats doing posing with large bunches of flowers on page 21? The modern pictures show more cars than people but also more trees and greenery but in many ways little has changed. A wonderful book for ourselves to compare and to contrast our town then and now or to send to family exiles in far off places.
