The 1950s and 1960s were a period of great change in the British Isles but there were also huge variations in everyday life in the streets and countryside of around the UK and Ireland at the time. In this book photographer Allan Hailstone presents a photographic portrait of this era when we was travelling around Scotland, England, Wales, Ireland and some of the other smaller islands making up the British Isles. To many readers today, this time looks like a faraway land when many of the changes in modern life that we take for granted today had not even been dreamt of.This portrait of a fascinating era around the British Isles will be of interest to all those who remember the 1950s and 1960s or who wish to have a window into that world.
