Chapel-en-le-Frith was founded in 1225, when foresters in the Royal Forest of the Peak were allowed to build a chapel in the woodland. Buildings that have survived to the present time tell of a market town that developed into an important stopping point on trans-Pennine routes and played a major role in the history of transport. As well as highlighting how changes in lifestyle have impacted on the appearance of Chapel, the photographs show that the older parts of the town and the surrounding hamlets have changed surprisingly little. Customs and traditions have also continued into the present century, thanks to the determination of the townspeople to preserve long-established clubs and societies. The story of Chapel-en-le-Frith is about continuity, as well as change. This revised edition of Chapel-en-le-Frith Through Time features new contemporary photography to ensure that readers see the town as it is today against fascinating archive images, revealing just how much, and in some cases how little, the area has changed through the ages.
