Radford Semele man has used old photographs in book about village's history

A Radford Semele man has published a book which ‘takes a historic look back at the village from the lens of a camera’.

After the loss of his family photos some years ago and hearing of other peoples’ similar experiences, Anthony Hitchcox decided to put together a collection of photographs belonging to fellow villagers.

He also researched stories of the village through historic records and articles from local newspapers in The Leamington Courier from years gone by.

Anthony managed to find photographs and stories going as far back as the later years of the 19th century.

And he is still collecting copies of old photos for a collection for the village.

Copies of Radford Semele A History In Photos are available to buy at the village shop in Lewis Road or directly by calling 07811 893473.
