A 1930s Childhood

Do you remember trams, gas street lighting, Tri-ang toys, sawdust on the floor at the local butcher or a postal delivery on Christmas morning? A nostalgic collection of reminiscence from 1930s Britain to jog the memory or share with a younger generation. Chapters recall hobbies, school, transport, holidays, games, food, drink and sweets. Fascinating memories bring to life growing up in Britain the 1930s: for those who were there or for those wanting to learn what life was like for their own relations. A tempestuous decade, which saw electricity and engines replaced by gas and horses; the abdication crisis and the Jarrow March; the Mallard’s 126mph speed record and smart new kitchenettes adding modern convenience at home. Sure to stir memories and conversations.
