WITH its 500 photographs covering life in the city from 1935 to 1960, Durham City Remembered represents the first time that such a comprehensive collection has been published to cover a specific period in the life of Durham people. The book takes the reader on a journey, down the years, that shows local people going about their business. There are civic and social occasions, the regatta and the student 'rag' week, sporting days and important visitors. Anyone who has lived or worked in Durham City between these years, or who knew someone who did, is likely to recognise familiar faces. The book is a welcome addition to the rich photographic archive of Durham's past.
