"Sense of Place" >>> from Bury to Sidmouth

A couple of years ago, Sidmouth resident and author Graham Cooper produced a book on his home town Bury in Lancashire:

A book has just come out depicting the changes to the town of Bury over the last decades: a familiar story of crass development, ignorance of place and consequent ripping apart of the social fabric.
A very touching portrait of a man and of a town - which carries clear messages for the future of Sidmouth. Is this 'a warning of how Sidmouth has been sleep walking in the same direction?'

Graham has brought out another book which identifies what gives somewhere a 'sense of place':


New book of Bury images capture the 

borough of yesteryear - but can you 

help complete the set?
