The city has a wealth of historic streets and buildings, overseen by natural and manmade landmarks such as Castle Rock and Arthur's Seat but the city has seen myriad changes through the years, including slum clearance and the development of new residential areas in the suburbs, new retail centres, the opening of the Scottish Parliament in 1999, the growth of the financial district from the 1990s onwards and a new tram system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdinburgh Reflections features an exciting collection of historic and modern pictures that are individually merged to reveal how the area has changed over the decades. Each of the 180 pictures in this book combines a recent colour view of Edinburgh with the matching sepia archive scene. Through the split-image effect, readers can see how streets, buildings and everyday life have transformed with the passing of time. Local author Jack Gillon presents this fascinating visual chronicle that ingeniously reflects past and present glimpses of Edinburgh.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to residents, visitors, local historians and all those with links to the area.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners Books Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41136423469191,"sku":"9781398117730","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/3199\/6807\/files\/9781398117730.jpg?v=1711645209","url":"https:\/\/thebookhousebroughtyferry.live\/products\/9781398117730","provider":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
