York Through the Lens of The Press

£14.99

by Paul Chrystal

The Yorkshire Evening Press, known today as The Press, has been the beating heart of life in York since 1882.

Through the reporting of its journalists and the images captured by its photographers, The Press has witnessed the stories, events and changes in the city.

Now, for the first time, the images in this book – which are unavailable from any other source – are compiled to present a fascinating pictorial history of York.

Many of the images have not been seen since they were first published in the paper, and for that reason they give the reader an opportunity to indulge in some unashamed and untrammelled nostalgia, whatever their age.

Paul Chrystal is the author of around 120 books, many on York and Yorkshire. He is editor of the Yorkshire Archaeological Journal, and his work has appeared in national newspapers and he has contributed to various television and radio shows.

 

Description

York. Read all about it!

The Yorkshire Evening Press, known today simply as The Press, has been the beating heart of life in York since 1882.

Through the reporting of its journalists and the images captured by its photographers, The Press has witnessed the stories, events and changes in the city.

Now, for the first time, these images – which are unavailable from any other source – are being published in this new book which provides a fascinating pictorial history of York.

This book is a unique compilation of around 350 photographs which have been published in the The Press (and before that The York Evening Press) over the last 80 or so years. Captions accompany each of the photographs telling the story behind the picture and placing it in historical context.

Many of the images have not been seen since they were first published in the paper, and for that reason they provide the reader with an opportunity to indulge in some unashamed and untrammelled nostalgia, whatever their age. York Through the Lens… will be sought after by York residents past and present, local historians and anyone interested in the history of the city and, indeed, of England.

York resident Paul Chrystal is no stranger to the city, having written many books on the history of the region. With collaboration from staff at The Press, this fascinating collection of images and accompanying stories are sure to delight.
