New book published about Ward Lock's RED GUIDES and travelling around Britain

THE BEST FROM WARD LOCK'S RED GUIDES, Guided round Britain, 1880s to 1970s by David Hurdle is published

About the Book:

Each of Ward Lock's Red Guides can boast something unique. That is what this book highlights - the key features that each guide has to offer. It does not describe all the places covered by each guide, but places and things which stand out, such as the best example in the country of, say, a fort, golf course or loch. The author quotes examples from many years, decades ago; what may have been a best example in the country then may not be so now. So, not least this book demonstrates how places, travel and tastes have changed over the years.

"The Best From Ward Lock's RED GUIDES" is currently for sale on Amazon in both paperback and e-book formats. See:
