Holywood: Advertisements & Memories Ken Russell

As a follow up to his book 'Holywood Its Cinema & Other Memories' the author has written another reminiscing on Holywood around the 60's and 70s'. With a mixture of advertisements, snippets of news and photographs he brings the reader back to remember those years gone by in Holywood. Although Holywood's development and population has expanded over the years its shops and businesses have continued to exist mainly in the same areas. The structures of many shops have mostly remained the same but the types of businesses have changed, what was once a sweet shop may now be a cafe. Looking at an advertisement or photo helps recover lost memories of those places that once were important in our everyday life, be it commercially or for pleasure. The author has put together a book to help re-live those memories. The reader will find the book will help as they travel back in time to reminisce on their younger days in Holywood & the shops, restaurants & services that were available and a part of their life.
