Todmorden Album 5 - Shops provides a further fascinating insight into over a century of life in Todmorden. Through his practised and meticulous research process Roger Birch has assembled a photographic treasure trove of shops - from the late nineteenth century to the present, and the personalities behind them. The book contains 260 duotone and full-colour photographs all complemented by detailed and informative captions. Foreword by Sir Bernard Ingham. Introduction by John Greenwood.

Four thousand images...
The Todmorden Album collection in its entirety contains some 4,000 images dating back to the 1860s, with many from the early twentieth century. The photographs provide a rich pictorial history of the growth and development of Todmorden, its people and industries, buildings and communities, transport and commerce. The collection continues to grow due to generous donations and loans from local families and organisations who have allowed their photographs to be copied.

Publications by Roger Birch
Five selections have been published in book form. The first, 'A Way of Life' (1973) was followed by four volumes of 'Todmorden Album - People, Places and Events'. Although out of print you may be able to purchase copies in local bookshops. Used copies of Todmorden Album can often be sourced on a regular basis by bidding on eBay.
