Beneath the quiet streets of Launceston lie centuries of rivalry, devotion, and hard-won civic pride. Launceston remembers in its stones. First published in the Victorian era, Alfred F. Robbins's Launceston, Past and Present is a richly detailed launceston cornwall history book and classic cornish town history book, bringing to life the growth of the borough, its institutions and its people. Blending narrative, topographical description and careful research, this launceston past and present book offers an intimate launceston town history and social history of Launceston, attentive to everyday life as much as to civic affairs. As a Victorian local history volume, it opens a rare contemporary window onto 19th century Launceston, capturing a community on the cusp of modernity while still deeply rooted in older Cornish ways. Long regarded as a cornerstone of Launceston England history and Cornish borough history, this study remains invaluable for local history researchers and as a careful genealogy research resource, rich in names, dates and place connections. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, ideal for any Cornwall local history collection and for readers who cherish enduring records of place and past.
