Then Again history book offers new images of historic Newcastle

The Premier Hotel in Broadmeadow in the 1940s.

Then Again, the 14th book by wife Sylvia and me, owes its existence to our friend, amateur photographer and history enthusiast Pete Smith, who has for some years wanted to work with us on a book that would include some of his "picture in picture" and "then and now" style photo projects. This is that book.

Among Pete's contributions is an interesting photo tour of some parts of Newcastle's former electric tramways, following in the footsteps of the late Norm Boxall, a Sydney tram enthusiast who visited Newcastle in the late 1940s to document the dying days of the city's trams.
