History books and old photographs

[Paddingtonthebear]

My 9yr old enjoys history and likes looking at old black and white photos from different eras. Can anyone recommend any childrens books that have both?

Has he got ones that show the history of your local area? I used to love looking at historic black and white photos of my town when I was his age. Still do actually.

These might be good. Also search on eBay or Amazon for used textbooks on particular subject. As a kid I loved old photos of my town. You could look in your local library at their kids books and their books about the history of your local area. Also, no pictures but Dominic Sandbrook's Adventures in Time series is excellent.

Also, have you got any family photos? That's always fascinating!

No family photos sadly ! We already have the first book linked but thank you! She likes looking at photos of people and houses from different eras - victorians, twenties, 50’s etc. I wondered if there was a book that had something like that

No photos but beautiful illustrations in this.

Does your child like a floor plan? www.amazon.co.uk/Life-British-Home-Architectural-History/dp/0470683333

@KindergartenKop thank you for the recommendation, that book looks fab, off to order now.

Agree with @ofwarren that local history books with photos of your local area are fascinating, loved them as a child, also still love them now.
