'Tin baths, bread & dripping, Iodine stained knees' - these are just a few of the memories from Britain in the 50s.

The book covers the following:

• The Golden Era
• Film Stars
• Movies
• Day to day life
  
• TV & Radio
• Car advertisements of the 50s (colour images)
• Cost of living in the 50s (an overview of the cost of living back in the 50s. Did you know the average 50s home was approx. £2000 which is around 60K in todays money. Other items were really expensive, a new kettle back in the 50s would have been £3 which is £95 in todays money!).  
• 50s Childhood
• Music - a look at popular music in the 50s along with colour images (& the top spot for the longest record at No.1- can you guess?)

Each section is brief and accompanied by images.  Most images are colour (there are a few black & white original photographs) to help the reader remember memories from their life during the 50s. The text is written in a simple, informal style to allow for easy reading.

This book is specifically about life in Britain.  It has 2 pages of reference to influences from America - out with that, it contains all British references & images.

This book does not mention dementia or Alzheimer.

For patients with later stage dementia this book can be read together with a carer. The imagery accompanied by references will help to trigger cherished memories.

This is also good to have for anyone who lived through the 50s and would like to reminisce with grandchildren.
