BARKING & DAGENHAM FROM OLD PHOTOGRAPHS - NEW EDITION

Hope Her Majesty the Queen enjoyed reading my last  book written on the 50th anniversary of the extraordinary changes in the borough's history. A special copy was delivered the morning she visited Barking exactly four years ago today and it was a pleasure to meet so many visitors and expats who made the journey to be there at this special time. It's fascinating to study those early photographs in my book, many of which were taken by the eminent historian the late Norman Gunby, a good friend and colleague. This particular book can be found at Valence House Museum and, of course, through the web.  I am happy to provide signed copies at some of the signing sessions and talks at Dagenham and Barking Libraries planned nearer Christmas.

Around that time, I am also hoping to link up with the Dagenham Carnival Court girls of the mid-60s. Some great memories of an extra-special era that kicked off amazing few years.  Tempus fugit!  

Workwise, my new book BRENTWOOD IN 50 BUILDINGS will be available from 1 September 2019 from all good bookshops and my back list (11 titles) with four different publishers, is still obtainable through Amazon and can be ordered through bookshops.
