In 1732, Salisbury Towne was founded on the eastern coast of Maryland on 15 acres, which belonged to William Winder. The town flourished, and upon the founding of Wicomico County in 1867, its county seat was declared Salisbury. Both the town and the county grew rapidly, earning Salisbury the nickname "Crossroads of Delmarva," a fitting moniker for what is today the most populated city between Virginia Beach, Virginia, and Dover, Delaware.

A VIVID INSIGHT into the dramatic developments that have taken place in the town's recent past, this book recalls houses and buildings, shops, business and pubs that have vanished or been altered almost beyond recognition. It takes the reader on a tour that compares current streetscapes with photographs and other illustrations made from the same viewpoints in the past. Many come from local archive sources and provide an unrivalled record of the story of the city. The resulting contrast offers an illuminating insight into Salisbury's evolution over the last 200 years. Bruce Purvis traces the overlapping phases of Salisbury's distinctive history, from medieval new town, to a centre of industry, commerce and transport, to a centre for tourism and the service economy in the present day. Fascinating reading and reference for everyone who is interested in Salisbury's rich, surprising history.
