New Book - Thornbury Through Time
This new book will be launched on Tuesday Oct 5th at 7.30pm at Thornbury Baptist Church. The authors, Meg Wise and Tony Cherry, will give an illustrated talk, and additional photos will be shown that were not included in the book.

You can buy signed copies of the book (priced £14.99), and refreshments will be available. Do join us at this free event and find out more about the town we live in.

Thereafter the book will be on sale at Thornbury and District Museum.

I've only had a quick look at an advance copy, but it includes a lot of 'old and new' photos which are quite fascinating. I think it does cover nearby vilages/hamlets in the Thornbury parish but not sure which - not Alveston as there is a very good book by Rosemary West already available (museum or Thornbury bookshop) or Tytherington which is outside the area. Best bet is to have a look at it at the museum after Tuesday (or go to the launch of course).

List of local books. I'm just away on hols and will try to sort out a list in a coupleof weeks time. In the meantime there is a selection on the museum shop page (http://tinyurl.com/36kogxs).

Noticed that above I attributed the book 'Alveston Through Time' to a mythical Rosemary West. It should have ben Rosemary King. Apologies.
Available in all good bookshops (in Thornbury at least)
