At first sight Wells has changed little over the last 150 years & Edwardian residents would still feel at home. This is particularly so in the east around the cathedral & the market place. On the other hand the west of the city which once boasted three railway stations has been altered out of all recognition. The buildings themselves have remained much as they always have been but this is far from the case when it comes to occupancy. Wells Through Time takes the visitor on a guided tour of Britains smallest & loveliest city. Many of the older pictures were taken by the Philips City Studio a business that operated in the Market Place for the best part of a century & it is to be hoped that these photographs will prove an inspiration to those who visit Wells today & a souvenir for those who have known the city in days gone by. ...

In the glory years of the 1970s Wales won three grand slams in eight seasons. But rarely since then had the men in red started a Six Nations campaign armed with expectation rather than hope. 2012 was different. The previous year they had come within a kick of reaching the World Cup final losing by a point to France despite playing for the last hour with 14 men after their captain Sam Warburton had been sent off for a dangerous tackle. The question when they returned home was how they would cope with the heartache. The answer came in their first match in the 2012 Six Nations Championship. In Dublin against Ireland the team they had knocked out in the World Cup quarter-final revenge was on the menu. Wales went there without five of their leading forwards & lost Warburton to injury at half-time. They were trailing by six points with five minutes to go & had a player in the sin-bin. The old Wales would have folded but as in Life on Mars it was back to the spirit of the 1970s. This Wales team came back fighting to win not only the game but to sweep the board in the whole tournament bringing home a Welsh grand slam for the third time in eight years & establishing a strong & exciting team for the future. ...

It was inevitable that certain areas of Wales would be chosen as locations for airfields in times of conflict & war. The nations distance from Continental Europe made it relatively safe from enemy attack & therefore ideally suited for training. It also due to its location on the western side of Great Britain near to the Western Approaches & the Atlantic convoys that the airfields in Pembrokeshire as a peninsula were ideally suited for Coastal Command operations into the Atlantic & the Bay of Biscay. In Wales there were thirty-seven airfields & four relief landing grounds eleven of which were operationally involved in air defence & maritime operations. Also there were numerous temporary landing areas attached to army camps associated with pre D-Day landings which do not count as proper airfields. ...
