Historic Byways and Highways of Old England

Pictures from Historic Byways and Highways of Old England edited by William Andrews (1848 – 1908), London, 1900

William Andrews appears to have had his own publishing company, and produced quite a number of books on the subject of local history and quaint interest.

I also have a copy of his Curiosities of the Church and Bygone Punishments.
