Books in The History Press's exciting new Then & Now series take a familiar idea, the matching of old photographs with new ones taken from the same camera location today, to demonstrate the changes that have occurred in a scene over the intervening years.

Featuring some of Britain's most historic and best preserved cities, each title contrasts a selection of archive images alongside full-colour modern photographs to provide an absorbing pictorial record of the changing face of the city.

Accompanied by detailed and informative captions, each page captures life in the area as it once was - and is now.  Including streets and buildings, shops and businesses, parks and gardens, events and celebrations, all aspects of daily life are covered.

As well as delighting the many tourists who visit these cities, this fantastic series will provide present occupants with a glimpse of how their city used to look, and will make for an ideal gift or keepsake for all who know and love these amazing cities. 

The popular tourist city of Liverpool has a rich heritage, which is uniquely reflected in this fascinating new compilation. Contrasting a selection of forty-five archive images alongside full-colour modern photographs, this book delves into the changing faces and buildings of Liverpool.

Comparing the fashionable man about town to his modern counterparts, and workers of yesteryear with today's trades-people, along with some famous landmarks and little-known street scenes, this is a wide-ranging look at the city's colourful history.

As well as delighting many tourists who visit this city, Liverpool Then & Now will provide present occupants with a glimpse of how the city used to be, in addition to awakening nostalgic memories for those who used to live or work here.
