Description: Colchester: Essex Libraries Local Studies, 1981. 0903630117. First Local Studies publication to be produced as a co-operative venture by staff in Essex Libraries. "Perhaps in some ways Essex has seen more changes during the last one hundred years than the more remote and less accesible parts of the country..It is hard now to recognise the Essex of 1900 - it looks different even on the map and not only because those Essex villages and towns just this side of the old Bow Bridge, where Essex started have been administratively separated from the county. It looks different wherever you go, although the sharp eye of Francis Frith would still be able to detect parts of the Essex he set out to record in the 1890s." Landscape format (21cms x 30cms). Pp.42, black & white photographs throughout. Paperback with photograph of Clacton Pier(1907) to front, and map of the county to the rear cover. VG.
