The Age of Innocence: B&W version, including "moving on to a Photo Finish" - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This third black and white edition, also available in paperback combines my two books “The age of Innocence” and Moving on (to a photo finish) into one volume. I have added an epilogue to bring the story up to date with a card from the Queen of England for our 60th Wedding anniversary Street.This is an account of a young girl growing up in Gorton, Manchester between 1939 and 1948, taking in family scandals and domestic situations. In a time before television, when access to a radio was determined by whether there was enough money to re-charge the accumulator, children and adults were far more innocent than today, with families closer.This is the story of my life and family during and just after the Second World War.This moves from the first book ‘The Age of Innocence' as I ‘Moved On’ to a much more contented and moderately successful life, looking for work, taking on second jobs until I got married and eventually in 1960, working for a TV Company. This was a time when Granada TV was only a few years old and I watched it change from being just one of the regional companies to become one of the most popular and respected of all the companies. . I worked in some very interesting departments one of the first was as a copy taker in the News Room and I was only the third person to hear about President Kennedy’s assassination when Granada was the first company in Britain to break the story. Some of the stories are funny, some homely and some tragic, witness when I typed a transcript of the Moors Murder tape. I worked for Granada for almost thirty years and ended my career there as Picture Editor. Some of the stories illustrate just how naïve I and many others of my generation were, and, some of us, still are.
