Cowley Through Time, by Ken Pearce

Published by Amberley in 2010, 96 pages. Paperback (N6679)

Brand New Book

From the rear side cover: Throughout most of its history, Cowley has been a small country village just two miles south of the market town of Uxbridge. Its origins are in the Saxon period, and St Laurence church is mentioned in the Domesday Book. However, in 1901 the population was only 214. The opening of a railway station in 1905 heralded expansion, initially, between the two wars, and this has continued since then. Recent years have been dominated by the arrival and growth of Brunel University in the north of the district. Ken Pearce shows, through old and new photographs, just how the area has changed.

The book will delight anyone who has lived or grown up in Cowley, as well as people with a more general interest in the social history of this part of West London and beyond....

When we post our books, we take great care in packaging them - first your book will be wrapped in bubblewrap, which protects the book and even keeps out any rain (in the event that it's raining when the postie delivers it!). Then we wrap your book in stiff cardboard, taking care to make sure all the corners are protected, and finally the package is wrapped in thick brown paper.
