The first photographic history of Gants Hill. Gants Hill, a suburb of Ilford in Essex, has a rich cultural history stretching back to turn of the last century. This is the first photographic publication to focus specifically on the area, illustrating in detail how the farmland of the early 1900s seemed to change overnight into a major commuter suburb from the 1930s. Each photo is presented with informative captions carefully researched by local businessman and founder of the Gants Hill Facebook Group, Vincent Goodman, together with experienced tour guide and lecturer Jef Page, President of the Ilford Historical Society. AUTHORS: Vincent Goodman is a graphic designer who has owned Speedprint in Gants Hill since 1983. He has previously self-published a children's book and has collected photos of Gants Hill for over 35 years. He founded the Gants Hill Facebook Group in August 2020, which now has over 6,200 members. Jef Page worked in the National Gallery, London for 25 years and before that for the British Library inside the British Museum. He has a BA Hons from the Open University and an MA Diploma on Museum and Gallery Management from the City University, Barbican, London. He is an experienced freelance lecturer and writer on a variety of historical topics, from art to local history. He is President of Ilford Historical Society, an area that covers Ilford and Gants Hill, and has given many lectures on these topics. 200 b/w illustrations
