Description
Lost Jarrow is a photographic history of a town that underwent radical change in the 20th century. Heavy industry dominated the town from the late 19th to the mid-20th centuries, with shipbuilding and coal mining being major employers.
The book presents a portrait of life in Jarrow during this period, showing not only the industries and buildings that have disappeared but also the people, street scenes, and popular places of entertainment. This fascinating history will appeal to those who live in or know the town, as well as those who remember it from previous decades.
With many photographs and a detailed account of Jarrow's transformation, this book is a valuable record of a way of life that has largely been lost. It provides a unique insight into the history of the town and its people, making it an interesting read for anyone interested in local history or photography.
