There is also an ebook version available of this title, it is for sale from Amazon or your usual provider. 

Enter the world of the 1950's child. From the corner sweet shop to the playground, to boys pretending to be spitfires and Rin Tin Tin, frozen jubblies and the Ford Popular. Tony Redding brings back a flood of memories as he takes us back to 1950's London.

Why was growing up in the 1950's so different and special? If you are in your early 60's you will know the answers. If you remember cream soda, wagon wheels, snake belts, Rin Tin Tin, Robin Hood and Popeye, this book is for you.

If you were born long after 1960, here is the world of your parents or grandparents, set out in all its 1950s glory: "six of chips", Eddie Cochran, The Shadows, smog, bomb sites, a caning at school, Penny for the guy and British bulldog.

Turn the pages and shift into a time when you could press the 'button B' and get your money back, whiten your teeth with Pepsodent and listen to adults criticising the police for failing to lock up enough teddy boys. Enjoy!

Good quality 😍
Color: Ice Green, Size: Large
I really like this shirt! The knit material feels soft, breathable, and perfect for warm weather. The design looks stylish and modern, exactly like the pictures. It fits true to size and sits really nice on the body—comfortable but still fitted enough to look clean. Great for summer outings, brunch, or beach vibes. Definitely worth the purchase
