THE PRINTS OF ALDERSHOT
By Gary Evans
There is something very special about Aldershot. It's an area rich in history, and fabled for its market gardens. Its amusement park attracted thousands of visitors.
The waters of the bay were clean, clean enough for a swim on a hot summer's day.
It was a small community, growing at a slow pace, maturing year by year, but not caught up in the development crush of nearby communities.
There is a series of aerial shots which show Aldershot of another era, but which help plot its growth into the 21st century. Other photographs offer a rare glimpse at Wabasso Park, with its roller coaster and swimmers enjoying a dip in the cool waters of Burlington Bay.
The Prints of Aldershot is a fascinating rare collection of old photographs, photographs which will stir up a lot of memories.
