This fascinating collection of more than 180 archive photographs traces some of the many ways in which Muswell Hill has changed and developed over the last hundred years.

All aspects of everyday life are recorded here, from shops and businesses, churches and schools, to images of work and leisure, day trips and days off. The landscapes and landmarks of the town and its surrounding areas are captured in this valuable historical record of life in Highgate and in Muswell Hill as it used to be.

The author is a local historian and the author of several previous books on the region, including Muswell Hill - History and Guide (2002).
