Pictorial History 1994 - Introduction

Introduction
The collection of photographs and text contained in ‘Pictorial Kesgrave 1994’ was put together in 1994 with a view to having the collection published in some form or other. However following investigation through various sources by others and myself the cost of publication, alas, proved to be prohibitive.
With the passing of time the photographs which are pre Tesco’s, Route 66, The Birches Medical Centre, Millennium sports ground, traffic lights at roundabouts, etc are perhaps more appealing for their historical value showing the Grange Farm development in its early stages of construction.
Publication in the form of a printed book in these days of advanced digital technology would perhaps seem a trifle dated. The pages have therefore been scanned and made available in a digital form to reach a wider public that may be interested in viewing past photographs of our expanding town.
Since 1994 I have continued taking snaps in and around Kesgrave for ‘Kesgrave News Magazine’ and for my own collection. Needless-to-say a large quantity of photographs has amassed during this period, which I hope will form the basis for further volumes.
