AUTHOR and photographer Paul Jones will be signing copies of his new Droitwich Spa history book next weekend.
Paul Jones will be at the town’s library, Victoria Square, with his book A Tale of Two Wyches and other Droitwich Articles from 10am and 1pm next Saturday (November 21).
It is A5 size and contains 105 pages with many colour illustrations.
The first article (from which the title is derived) looks at the fictional town of Salwych, which was created by the now forgotten Victorian author ‘Rita’.
Droitwich was used by ‘Rita’ as the template for Salwych after she had visited the town for treatment in 1906.
Other articles in the book include a look at the Droitwich Town Mill site lock, a report on the Raven Hotel, and the history of Chapel Bridge.
The book, at £8, is available from Grace Cards (Droitwich Precinct), the Heritage Centre (Victoria Square), Tom Lymer’s and the Button Tree (Droitwich High Street), or directly from author Paul Jones on 01905 770088.
