A  book commemorating some of the borough’s most historic and memorable moments of the past 100 years has brought never-before-seen photographs together for the first time.

Just published by True North Books, Memories of Kingston aims to “encourage questions from inquisitive children, longing to understand and share the memories of Kingston”.

Key moments such as Kingstonian FC winning the FA Amateur Cup in 1933 are represented in the book, as well as evocative images of the skyline, Kingston Bridge and the ancient marketplace, dating back to the 1930s.

Fittingly, photographs of royal visits feature prominently in the book.

One of the oldest pictures shows young children waiting with excitement at prospect of seeing Queen Victoria opening Kingston Power Station in 1893.

Shekina Popper, from True North Books, said: “We specialise in reminding readers of how their life once was in the ‘good old days’.

“Each page greets you with black and white photographs, supported by elaborate text filled with details that take you back to the old days in Kingston.

“The book takes you down the town’s cobbled streets and fills you with that warm, cosy, unbeatable glow of nostalgia.”
