For more than 225 years; the town of Bradford; Massachusetts; led an independent life on the Merrimack River. Stately homes lined its main roads; a classic New England common graced its center; and high on a hill stood Bradford Academy; the town�s best-known institution. In November 1896; Bradford�s long independence came to an end when the town�s voters agreed to annexation by the city of Haverhill. Through the camera�s eye; readers can stroll through the old town from the bridge to the Common; east along Salem Street and west to the railroad depot. They can visit Ward Hill; the once-sleepy farming community whose transformation to a planned factory village triggered the annexation.

I love this book and the publisher.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. lots of great picBy J L WI really enjoy looking at and reading this book. It has many interesting pictures and lots of information on the content of the pictures. It is more pictures than text. though. which I already knew before ordering as I have other books by arcadia press.and that is always the format for these books. It is very much a picture history of any given subject. But in the case of this book. pictures are very important. I love this book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
