The year 1997 marks the 125th anniversary of the town of Norwood, which was historically composed of the villages of Tiot, South Dedham, The Hook, Swedeville, The Ward, Cork City, Dublin, South Norwood, Morse Hill, Christian Hill, Westover, and Ellis. The Norwood Historical Society--founded at the very beginning of the twentieth century--has served as a repository of images from all these communities, and it is with great pride that the society offers the enclosed selections from its photographic archives in this timely publication. Many of the images in this collection, which chronicles the community's development from a rural village through the industrial and technological eras, have never before been published. The glass-plate negatives on which they were preserved were only recently discovered in the society's attic. Some images are attributed to the famous Norwood photographer Fred Holland Day, whose interest in the history of his hometown and passion for the art of photography provided the inspiration for this book. All of the images work together to illustrate a way of life now long forgotten, and to document the existence of historical sites, some of which remain standing today and others of which have succumbed to the ravages of time.
