Description
Alton and Its Villages Through Time by Tony Cross, Jane Hurst, Martin Morris explores the history of Alton and its surrounding villages through photographs. Over the past 100 years, the town's market has undergone significant changes. The weekly Tuesday market, which once featured livestock for sale, now takes place in the High Street, selling a variety of goods including fruit, vegetables, plants, clothes, and books. The market is complemented by other events throughout the year, such as Farmers' Markets, attracting visitors from Alton and its villages. This book presents a visual record of these changes, providing insight into the evolution of Alton's market and its place within the surrounding community.
