ALLEN'S famous History of Liskeard first published over a century ago (then 1967), contained a wealth of information about this ancient Cornish borough.There are few copies of 'Allen' still in existence but the request for a new edition has been exceptional and to satisfy this popular demand the borough council has financed the cost of this historical work.It is a book that will appeal not only to students interested in local government history but to those who want to know more about the antiquities and folklore of the area and again to those over the years,who have wanted to possess the history of a proud and ancient borough.An acceptable copy of a scarce, local history title/edn.
