Product Description

Product Description
Many images spring to mind with the mention of such towns as Boston, Winchester, Cambridge, Springfield, Lincoln, Woodstock, Birmingham, Brighton, Denver, Lancaster, Plymouth...This book discusses over sixty such places -- not the ones in the new world -- rather the original ones in Britain. Pioneering settlers often named the new location for the one from which they emigrated, and those familiar place names continue to intrigue. A Legacy of Names is invaluable for the armchair traveller, for it traces the history of the British town, describes its appearance and points of interest today, and relates how its name came to be transplanted across the seas.

We have found that the information in this work provides a great deal of historical interest to those who re-visit the U.K. , and have the opportunity to travel around to various parts of the country. We appreciate the unique way in which the contents are presented.
