This is a history of Crawley with a difference. Read it, and you will find out what really shaped Crawley.
In this authoritative and highly readable text, the author recounts the stories and events that together make up Crawley’s history, and relate them directly to what you can still see on the ground today (2004).
Throughout are carefully chosen photographs from the world-famous Francis Frith Collection. These are supplemented by speciality commissioned colour photographs showing the locality as it is today.
Topic boxes cover subjects of particular interest, and the Did You Know boxes will test to the full your local knowledge.
Learn too, about Crawley’s worthies past and present, whose energy and innovation have played such a vital role in shaping the locality.
The author also celebrates the living, breathing organism that is the community today and gives us a timely and enthusiastic appreciation of the new Crawley that is developing before our eyes.
