A WORCESTER author has signed copies of his new book, which includes photographs of Worcester from the 19th and 20th centuries. Roy Jones, a historian and businessman, was educated at St Stephen's School and the Royal Grammar School, before turning his hand to writing. His latest book, called Pioneers of Photography in the City of Worcester and Around, includes the work of Worcester photographers between 1850 and 1940 and shows how photographic techniques were changing in the late Victorian era.

The signing took place at Waterstone's on Saturday.
