The Streets Of Louth: An A–Z History

The Streets of Louth offers an A-Z history of virtually every road within the town, from ancient streets such as Upgate and Mercer Row through to modern residential developments such as Anthony Crescent. Designed for the general reader and anyone who has ever wondered how the streets of Louth have changed and developed over time, it not only looks at the archaeology, buildings and businesses of each of the individual streets, but also the people who used to live on them, from brewers and fish fryers through to jewellers and prostitutes. The book also makes use of local court reports from the nineteenth century to bring the Victorian history of the streets of Louth alive, with crimes and accidents recorded that range from the mundane to the truly shocking!
