About this product

Product Information

David Forrester's mother ran Forrester's Stores, which welcomed customers in Fordington High Street for 35 years after the Second World War. He recalls the life and times of the people going about their daily lives, through stories of growing up in the area. His reminiscences are a record of what it was like living in post-war Fordington, including school life at St George's Infant School, Colliton Street School for Boys, and Dorchester Secondary Modern, the hey-day of Lott and Walne, market days and the old shops in Dorchester, singing in the choir, and school-boy pranks. The book is part memoir, part recollections of what life was like in an area of Dorchester known then as the 'wrong end of town'

This book arrived with another one on which I've already commented, so I give the same comment here. Excellent ebayer. The product arrived on time and was in the condition described. It was also a hardback book, whereas I thought I had ordered a paperback. It was excellent value for money as a paperback and so it is many time more than that as a hardback. Thank you Baham Books, excellent service all round.
