Winsford tourist literature from the 1930s shows how the town has changed over the years
THESE old cuttings, submitted to the Guardian by a Winsford reader, certainly show how times have changed in the town.
The holiday home advertisements for bungalows beside the Weaver boast of a Winsford containing ‘public brine baths’ and ‘two excellent cinemas’.
Mod-cons we all now take for granted include a working water supply, electric lighting and ‘good sanitary arrangements’.
One thing that’s not changed much over the years are the picturesque Flashes surroundings themselves – noted here for their ‘health giving virtues’.
