A splendid synthesis of well-researched facts and entertaining anecdotes, this is local history writing at its best! A 13th-century planned town, Salisbury's medieval layout can still be easily traced and it is still as much dominated by its magnificent cathedral as ever. Explaining the city's development, as a market, an industrial town, a transport hub and a county's social centre, the authors have very successfully met the challenge of producing a comprehensive and easy-to-read narrative, generously illustrated. An invaluable source of reference, their book will also excite the imagination through its fascinating insights into the lives of Salisbury's past citizens who created its unique, independent identity trough centuries of 'continuity and change'.
