Guildford's history dates from Saxon times, and the town has been the residence of kings and many famous men and women, particularly since Henry II turned the Norman castle into a luxurious palace in the twelfth century. Also amongst the town's famous and influential faces was George Abbot, who became Archbishop of Canterbury in 1611 and was one of the translators of the King James Bible and founded Abbot's Hospital in 1619 – an early example of 'sheltered housing', which still fulfils that role to this day. High above the town is the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit. Consecrated in 1961, it was the first cathedral to be built in the South of England since the Reformation. Below it is the University of Surrey, which received its Royal Charter just a few years later. Guildford's people and visitors throughout history come to life in this well-researched account, which also examines the town's architectural development and heritage, from the castle and medieval guildhall to the modern cathedral and beyond, portraying Guildford's significance on a national and sometimes international scale.

Guildford still retains much of its 'Olde Worlde' charm in the twenty-first century; it is what makes it such a popular place for tourists from all over the world who come and take photographs of the Guildhall, the castle and the picturesque River Wey. Most of the images in this book are from Philip Hutchinson's personal collection and are appearing here in print for the first time. Some of the places featured include the High Street in Victorian times, Guildford shops in the 1950s and the Royal Grammar School. This new publication will be of interest in its own right or as a companion to those photographic books of memories that have gone before and will appeal to local people and visitors.
