Weardale in Old Photographs
Format: Paperback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Cutting into the wild, sparsely inhabited moorland of the North Pennines is a surprisingly well-populated and beautiful dale - Weardale. Up-river from Wolsingham lies a string of villages of varying size with never more than about 3 miles between them. This collection of old photographs depicts some of the industrial history of the villages and surrounding area, which was based on quarrying (now much decrease) and lead mining (no longer in existence), as well as scenes of everyday life in the district of years gone by. The wealth of vernacular architecture is not neglected, where some of the buildings associated with quarrying and lead mining now lie derelict. The fact that many families are long-established means that there are many people with memories of the dale. This has proved invaluable in the search for photographs and in obtaining information about the history of the dale, its people and buildings. All in all this volume provides the reader with an absorbing and informative glimpse into the past of this scenic district.
