| book description |
This collection of over 200 old photographs of Sherborne and its near neighbour Milborne Port show in fascinating detail some of the many changes that have taken place in the life and appearance of these two communities over a period of about one hundred years. All aspects of life are shown, including people at work and play, at school and at church. The traditional local industry of glove making, common to both Sherborne and Milborne Port, is shown in its heyday along with a diversity of other activities that largely self-contained communities used to be involved in, including baking the bread, farming the land, caring for the horses and delivering the milk. The photographs have been drawn partly from the extensive private collection of Richard Duckworth, whose family have lived in Milborne Port for more than four generations, and partly from the archives at the Sherborne Museum where Richard Brewer looks after its large photographic collection. Most of these images have never before appeared in print and together they form a unique and fascinating record of an age that is past.
