The fascinating history of Royal Leamington Spa illustrated through old and modern pictures.

The history of the beautiful spa town that grew from a tiny village is portrayed with more than 200 photographs and supporting captions in this new book. Following on from Jacquline Cameron's successful book on Leamington Spa, this study explores the town's history with particular emphasis on leisure and entertainment. The books features a wonderful selection of images, many of which have never been by the public before. Jeff Watkin uses fascinating archive pictures from the Art Gallery and Museum at The Royal Pump Rooms to show what life was really like years ago.
