Around Combe Down

Around Combe Down

by Peter Addison

£6.99

Peter Addison has been researching the history of his adopted home for many years. Combe Down, although now part of the City of Bath, has always essentially been a rural village, and this book recalls the development of a tight-knit community. Churches and schools feature prominently in the social life of the village, but so too do its remarkable industries, such as stone quarrying, fuller’s earth extraction and papermaking. Colouring the whole picture are many personal tales and records, along with a wide selection of early photographs.
