This newly published book, written by Hampton local historian John Sheaf, provides a fascinating description of Hampton 100 years ago.

It covers the layout of the village, the roads, the shops and pubs and some of the significant buildings at that time as well as the occupations of some of the householders. There is a separate section for every road that then existed; each with an individual map and related images.

This very well-illustrated book, with many pictures in sepia and colour, includes over ninety historic photos and illustrations and forty five maps and is published by the Borough of Twickenham Local History Society.
