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.Product Identifiers

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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good read
This book is a lighthearted reminisce of what it was like to be a child in the 50’s. I really enjoyed the book even though I was born in the 90’s! The book is not too taxing and is written in a fun and simple style. I bought this book for a family member who grew up in the 50’s and I’m sure it will bring a smile to their face!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
