This collection of photographs tries to cover both the changes and the consistencies to show how Bicester has developed and how its character remains. Bicester Reflections features an exciting collection of historic and modern pictures that are individually merged to reveal how the area has changed over the decades.

Bicester, a town in Oxfordshire, has undergone significant expansion and transformation over the years. While some areas have undergone noticeable changes, others retain their familiar landmarks. Looking at photographs from the Victorian or pre-war era, it's hard to recognize the town as it once was. Despite the transformations, certain iconic elements have remained largely untouched, such as the medieval St. Edburg's parish church and Market Square.

This collection of photographs aims to capture both the changes and the consistencies in Bicester's development. It showcases an exciting blend of historic and modern images, carefully merged to reveal how the area has evolved. Each of the 180 pictures in "Bicester Reflections" combines a contemporary color view of Bicester with a matching sepia-toned archive scene. Through the split-image effect, readers can observe how streets, buildings, and everyday life have transformed over time.

Local author Matthew Hathaway presents this captivating visual chronicle, offering a unique perspective on Bicester's past and present. The book cleverly reflects both historical glimpses and contemporary scenes, providing a fascinating insight into the town's evolution. Whether you're a resident or a visitor, "Bicester Reflections" is a must-have for anyone interested in exploring the rich history and dynamic nature of this charming community.
