Aberdeen in the Seventies - A Decade of Change (Paperback)

This title is originally published in 2003 and reprinted due to popular demand. It features over four hundred images showing not only the housing and architecture of the 1970's but also the fashions, events and moments in time that made the seventies so unique. It is a nostalgic account, sure to spark recognition with locals of the time. The 1970s is now far enough away to deserve a retrospective look. The children of that era have grown to adulthood and have a special feeling for that very distinctive decade. For the city of Aberdeen the 1970s was indeed a time of change. North Sea oil came ashore and the city adapted to the benefits and challenges of being the oil capital of Europe. As well as recording those unique times for the North-east, this book's 400 images show the fashions, the growth of housing suburbs around Aberdeen, the protests and unrest. It gives us the big moments and the little quirky events that were a part of what made the 1970s so special. We do not claim this collection to be the definitive or comprehensive account, rather a series of snapshots that it is hoped will connect with the people of the North-east and spark recognition, pleasure and nostalgia.
