The invention of photography in the nineteenth century provided a means of looking back into the none-too-distant past, and in this book Avril Lansdell makes use of this medium to share her fascination of how people lived, the work they did and the clothes they wore. Clothes and photography have changed drastically during the twentieth century; this book shows some of these changes and will bring back many memories to its readers.

Avril Lansdell, now retired, was the Curator of Weybridge Museum from 1968 to 1989.
