The 1950s and 1960s saw great change across the British Isles, but there were also huge variations in everyday life in the streets and countryside around the UK and Ireland at the time. In Forgotten Times: The British Isles in the 1950s and 1960s, Allan Hailstone presents a photographic portrait of this era from his travels around Scotland, England, Wales, Ireland and some of the other smaller islands making up the British Isles. To many readers today, this time seems remarkably far away, with many of our modern conveniences not yet imagined. This nostalgic look at a fascinating era will be of interest to all those who remember the 1950s and 1960s well, or those who wish to have a window into that world.
Allan Hailstone was born in Coventry. In subsequent years he paid many visits to London, and in 1957 left Coventry to study at London University. His camera always went with him, and the reels of film and their accompanying notes grew in size. He visited many other countries and recorded life as he saw it. Throughout his adult life, Allan never lost his passion for photography, and has amassed an archive of hundreds of images.
