When I Were a Lass... by Joan Bradshawe
When I Were A Lass... looks back through rose-tinted NHS spectacles (held together with an old plaster) to a time when the world was a simpler place. A girl's view of the 1930s, 40s and 50s is revealed through a series of vintage photos. From a time when radio and gramophones were the only distraction and toys were few and far between, a doll was a thing to be treasured and a trip to the seaside was a grand adventure. The book takes a nostalgic and offbeat look at the photos of a distant childhood.
Joan Bradshawe grew up in Settle, North Yorkshire. A former Butlin's Redcoat at the Filey holiday camp, she went on to work in the camp administration office until the site closed in 1983. A keen amateur historian, she spends her leisure time trawling through car boot sales and junkshops on the lookout for vintage photos. She has four children, two grandchildren and this is her first book.
