Then And Now
A Victorian Walk Around Ripley
By Tony and Patricia Medlen and Derek Bromley
An account by A J Munby, poet, barrister and diarist, of his first visit to Ripley and its environs in 1863. Reproduced
are extracts from his diaries detailing what he then saw and experienced. The entries are commented upon and
compared with today (1983). Illustrated with pictures of places and buildings, some as seen and many as described
by Munby. Includes other comparative data such as details of trades and professions taken from the 1861 census
of Ripley plus a modern wild flower survey. A fascinating book to accompany the reader on a very pleasant walk in
and around the village.
First published 1983, 4th reprint 2008
£4.00
