Rayleigh Through Time
The changing face of Rayleigh
We are very pleased to share with you some images from the latest local history book on the district, "Rayleigh Through Time" by Mike and Sharon Davies (Amberley Publishing ISBN: 9781445613307).
This unique selection of photographs and images charts the life of the town, and the many changes it has undergone, over the last 100 years. It was compiled by Mike and Sharon, who run the local history group "Rayleigh Through the Looking Glass".
From the opening of the first road in the UK to be specifically built for motor vehicles, to the procession of the Olympic torch through the town in 2012, this is a wonderful pictorial representation of one of the major places of interest in our area.
