LOST DORSET

More about the book

Lost Dorset could easily be called ‘Unknown Dorset’, for few of the 350 photographs chosen from Barry Cuff’s remarkable collection of Dorset postcards have been published before, and many are extremely rare. The result is a large 200 page hardback documenting Dorset’s villages and rural way of life through a period of extraordinary upheaval and change. 20,000 words of text. Chapters on: Delivering the Post Childhood and Schools Village Life Church, Chapel and the Temperance Movement The Village Shop Farming the Land Inns and Breweries Field Sports Lanes and Roads On the Hustings: Politics and Power Country Crafts Along the Coast The Gentry The Railway Fairs and Celebrations
