The best views of Shropshire ever published – if you buy only one book on Shropshire, make it this one!

David Trumper is one of Shropshire's best known historians. He has written at least one book on the county each year for the last two decades, forming an incredible collection of illustrated local history that celebrates Shropshire life over the last century; from long-lost scenes and vistas to the bustle of Shropshire's streets in days gone by, his work captures all aspects of local life.

This special collection, published to mark the twentieth anniversary of his first book on the town, Shrewsbury in Old Photographs (1994), draws on his two decades of research and presents the finest images from those collections as a special single volume. It will delight both visitors and residents alike.
