Helmsley - Reminiscences of 100 years ago - A5 Book

A super A5 book about Helmsley, written by Isaac Cooper a little over 100 years ago, in which he recounts not only his own memories, but some stories handed down to him and extracts from the diary of John Pape, a noted diarist of the 18th century, giving us a real insight into life in the town from the middle eighteenth up to the late nineteenth centuries.

Isaac Cooper first published his book in 1887, recalling memories from over one hundred years prior to that. In our book title, we have said that this was written ‘a little over 100 years ago’ but time has passed since we published our book in 2007, so it is now well over one hundred years since!
