OverviewThis fascinating look at the past gives young readers the chance to see moments from Britain’s history captured in photographs. From young children that worked as chimney sweeps, to working in a grocery store where every product was individually weighed and wrapped by hand; from delivering milk using a push barrow, milk churns and ladle, to type-setting a newspaper using individual metal letters – this book focuses on life at work during the past 100 years. The photos explore topics that include being a telegram boy, working as a bus conductor and the original recyclers – rag and bone men! Many of the topics are “living history” and the author has interviewed people who were born during the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s who were delighted to share their Memories of Going to Work for the book.
