English Shop-Fronts Old and New - Dan Horace

Join us on a journey back to the high street of the 1900s! This delightful book features old photographs of over 50 different shops, revealing a time before chain stores took over, when each family-run business proudly presented a unique and characterful face to the world. Originally published in 1907, English Shop-Fronts Old and New not only shows shopping as it used to be, but contains a host of interesting detail about the designs, materials and construction methods used at the time. From butcher to baker, ironmonger to fancy goods, English Shop-Fronts Old and New offers more than a ha'penny worth of nostalgic treats, carefully wrapped up in brown paper.
