The years 1955 to 2010 have been ones filled with change both
for the infrastructure and society of the beautiful town of
Dartmouth.
The
Dartmouth Chronicle
has documented the trials and tribulations, the tragedies and
the triumphs of the town and its people over this period,
changing with the times, reflecting its moods and championing
its causes. The
Chronicles of Dartmouth
Volume 2
uses the newspaper’s archives to follow on from the first volume
by eminent historian Don Collinson. Concentrating on telling the
story from the perspective of the town’s people – showing the
strength and character imbedded deep in its community – Phil
Scoble brings a humanity and gentle wit to the changes and
trials they face.
Featuring pictures taken from the paper’s archive, the Totnes Image
Bank and the Dartmouth Museum, this is a beautifully presented,
unique and personal journey through the changing face of
Dartmouth over the last fifty five years. The definitive account
of Dartmouth’s modern history, the
Chronicles of Dartmouth 1955–2010
is a loving and engaging read about this much-loved town.
