Book Synopsis A 1950s Southampton Childhood by : Penny Legg

Download or read book A 1950s Southampton Childhood written by Penny Legg. This book was released on 2013-05-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1950s was a time of regeneration and change for Southampton. For children growing up during this decade, life was changing fast. They still made their own toys and earned their own pocket money, but, on new television sets, Andy Pandy (1950) and Bill and Ben (1952) delighted them. With rationing discontinued, confectionary was on the menu again and, for children, Southampton life in the 1950s was sweet. If you saw a Laurel and Hardy performance at The Gaumont Theatre, or made dens out of bombed-out buildings, then you'll thoroughly enjoy this charming and nostalgic account of the era.
