Within the pages of this book, Winchester expert and author Anne-Louise Barton charts the town’s history through a unique selection of old photographs, prints and postcards to show what life was like for Winchester’s past residents, and to highlight the celebrations and the struggles that this picturesque, bustling town has witnessed.

Winchester became a separate town in 1850, breaking away from Woburn and other neighboring communities. This wonderful new book includes over two hundred photographs which chronicle Winchester people, places, and events between the years 1850 and 1960. The images--many rare and previously unpublished-- bring to life over a century of change in Winchester, showing the old local families, the Italo-American community which grew so rapidly in the late nineteenth century, Winchester people at work and play throughout the decades, local institutions such as the hospital and library, and major local landmarks, many of which no longer exist. The photographs take us on a fascinating journey through Winchester's history, and show how much, and yet how little, has changed in this diverse and dynamic town, and how a sense of local pride and community spirit has been passed down the generations to the present day.

Known first as Frederick Town, Winchester was the first English town west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Beautiful in all seasons, it is breathtaking in spring with its apple blossoms and lacy dogwoods. Winchester is not only beautiful but also historically significant. This ancient place has been prized by everyone from the nearby Paleo and Woodland Indians to the Europeans and Americans who fought over it. At the north end of the Shenandoah Valley, Winchester has stood sentinel over the rest of the valley as an important strategic center during both the French and Indian War and the Civil War. This is the town where George Washington got his military and political start and built Fort Loudoun during the French and Indian War. During the turbulent times of the Civil War, Winchester changed hands more than 70 times. Many of this city's sons and daughters, such as explorer Adm. Richard E. Byrd and country singer Patsy Cline, have achieved the world's respect. This book is filled with the story of Winchester from an early frontier town to the thriving place it is today.

Set among the chalk downs of the Itchen Valley in Hampshire, Winchester is a city of exceptional historic charm and natural beauty. Wild countryside reaching right into the heart of the city provides a setting for atmospheric remains from almost every era of its rich past. Settlement began four thousand years ago with a Bronze Age fort. Since then it has been a Roman capital, the walled city of St Swithun, the capital of Wessex under Alfred the Great, and the first English home of William the Conqueror.The mighty cathedral constructed by the Normans in 1079 has dominated the city ever since. The power and wealth of successive bishops has been key to the architectural integrity and preservation of the old town. They built opulent palaces, abbeys, halls and gateways. To accommodate the pilgrims travelling from all over Europe to the tomb of Saint Swithun, Bishop Henry of Blois erected the great Hospital at St Cross in 1136. In 1387 Bishop Wykeham opened Winchester College. To this day between them the Cathedral, the Hospital and the College own and occupy just about every building in the old city, keeping it almost free of modern architecture. The rest of the vallley floor is a natural flood plain of the Itchen River. Its unsuitability as building land has allowed it to be preserved as water meadows of outstanding natural beauty. Chris Caldicott's stunning photographs capture the different moods of this wonderful old city with its iconic buildings and water meadows through all the seasons.
