A Century of Barnsley offers an insight into the daily lives and
living conditions of local people and gives the reader glimpses and
details of familiar places during a century of unprecedented
change. Many aspects of Barnsley's recent history are covered,
famous occasions and individuals are remembered and the impact of
national and international events is witnessed. The book provides a
striking account of the changes that have so altered Barnsley's
appearance and records the process of transformation. Drawing on
detailed local knowledge of the community, and illustrated with a
wealth of black-and-white photographs, this book recalls what
Barnsley has lost in terms of buildings, traditions and ways of
life. It also acknowledges the regeneration that has taken place
and celebrates the character and energy of local people as they
move through the first years of this new century.
What was Manchester really like in the 1970s? Anyone who's seen
'Life on Mars' thinks they know, but here the author shows us the
reality rather than the BBC fictional version. Most of the
illustrations in this book were taken by the author and are
supplemented by posters, adverts and other ephemera to capture the
flavour of the decade.
