What lies beneath the Newbury we know today?

Walk across the Wharf car park and you may be walking over a forgotten waterway. Stand beside a familiar road and you may be looking at the site of a vanished cottage, school or workplace.

In A Hidden Newbury, Sarah E. Warne brings the town's changing streets to life through family memories, local history and photographs. From the busy wharves and markets of her father's childhood to wartime journeys and her own memories of growing up in Newbury, she follows the people and places that shaped her family across generations.

This is a personal journey through a town that has dramatically evolved, while retaining its old stories, if you know where to look.
