Description
Aberystwyth Reflections by William Troughton is a collection of historic and modern photographs that reveal how the town has changed across the decades. The book features many previously unpublished images, including those of the promenade area with its pier, bandstand, and seafront hotels, as well as streets, shops, notable events, military camps, funiculars, narrow-gauge railways, and the harbour. The photographs are merged to show how Aberystwyth has evolved from a popular holiday resort to a vibrant university town. A section of the book focuses on the development of the university campus during the 1960s and 1970s. This visual chronicle provides a unique insight into Aberystwyth's past and present, making it an appealing read for residents, visitors, and those with connections to the town. Aberystwyth Reflections offers a fascinating glimpse into the town's history and culture, showcasing its rich visual heritage through a collection of evocative photographs.
