      The first in a series of highly illustrated books that take a nostalgic look at life in 20th-century Britain through amateur photographs, ephemera, and postcards, 'On Holiday' visually explores where people stayed, what they wore, where they went, how they got there, and what they did. Using predominantly amateur photographs from family albums alongside postcards, publicity material, and a range of ephemera from the Edwardian era to the 1970s, this feast of nostalgia offers a delightfully evocative snapshot of holiday life in 20th-century Britain.NB: Despite the dust wrapper and cover of the book stating 'On Holiday', the title page reads 'The Way We Were On Holiday' and that is how it is catalogued.

      The most intriguing and least known of Britain's railways are the minor lines: rural routes and branch lines - some still active if little-used, others long since lost, industrial and docks lines, narrow gauge and miniature lines. This title focuses on these minor railways, once vital to the commercial and social life of Britain but now abandoned.
