About this product

Product Information

Do you remember Path News? Taking the train to the seaside? The purple stains of iodine on the knees of boys in short trousers? Knitted bathing costumes? Then the chances are you were born in or around 1950. To the young people of today, the 1950s seem like another age. But for those born around then, this era of childhood feels like yesterday. This delightful collection of photographic memories will appeal to all who grew up in this post-war decade; they include pictures of children enjoying life out on the streets and bombsites, at home and at school, on holiday and at events. These wonderful period pictures and descriptive captions will bring back this decade of childhood, and jog memories about all aspects of life as it was in post-war Britain. Paul Feeney is the author of bestselling nostalgia books A 1950s Childhood and A 1960s Childhood (The History Press). He has also written the bestselling From Ration Book to Ebook (The History Press), which takes a nostalgic look back over the life and times of the post-war baby boomer generation.

    Magic Moments.

    A great book,evocative of the times for alot of people.Although I certainly didn't have to suffer a tin bath there were still many who did & the photos brought back many memories.The children of today need to see this in the vain hope it will make them appreciate just how much they have compared to their grandparents.

  • Memories of a different world.

    This book brought back a lot of happy memories, that I had forgotten about, When life was simple, where as a child leave deep happy times, although we didn't have a lot of material things, there was love, happiness and enjoyment, and most of all respect and appreciation off a different world.

  • Nostalgia in Layman's terms

    This has other decades in the series albeit 60s,70s and this 50s is equally impressive. Informative and easy reading very enjoyable worth the money.

  • Shouldn't be altered.

    This series should be compulsory reading for youngsters of today. Especially teenagers. They might not take life for granted if they read this. These eras should not be forgotten. They are history and instructive as well as entertaining. Thank you.
