My family moved to Wlfd in 1950 - just about the time this book ends it story - so it was interesting to see what they moved to compared to what I remember being born 10 yrs later and growing up there.Wonderful!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. NiceBy Philip G. ParkerThis has some really nice pictures from around the turn of the last century. I was hoping for a little more from the later 1800s. But no luck. Still; its interesting to see what the town was like back then. Now I just need to make it to the present day Wallingford and look around the old hometown that I never knew.
