    Default Yesteryear Leamington brought to book

    Looks like a couple of interesting books. - Article has 3 good pictures

    SHOPPING and transport are the focus of two new local history books.

    Allan Jennings and Tom Lewin have written ‘Shops of Royal Leamington Spa’, a nostalgic look at trade in the town down the decades, while Peter Coulls has joined Allan to pen ‘The Leamington and Warwick Tramway’, which last ran in 1930.

    Of course it'll fit, you just need a bigger hammer.

    Thanks Rebbonk, I went down to the Parish Church this morning where they had an Exhibition on.

    The books are very nicely produced and illustrated, I bought two on The Leamington and Warwick Tramway.
    One for my son and one to give his dad who is a long time Tram enthusiast.
    For myself I bought the Shops of Royal Leamington spa.

    Below I have uploaded front and back cover with page illustration of the Leamington and Warwick Tramway book.
    Sorry they came out side ways.

    Another lovely little book I bought a few years back on Leamington's Past, in an antiquarian book shop in Smith St. Warwick.. (the shop isn't there now).

    I love rummaging in old book shops. I've pulled up some real nuggets and at seriously low prices.
