The Golden Age of Childhood

Growing Up in Britain - 1970 to 1995

Step back into a time before smartphones, before the internet, and before screens took over our lives.

This heartfelt nostalgia book is a warm and detailed celebration of what it was really like to grow up in Britain during the 1970s, 80s and early 90s.

From Raleigh Choppers, Space Hoppers and Subbuteo battles on the carpet, to Woolworths Pic ‘n’ Mix, Findus Crispy Pancakes and Saturday mornings spent watching Swap Shop, this book captures the toys, games, sweets, TV shows, music and everyday moments that defined a generation.

Relive the joy of:

• Classic toys like Fisher Price Garage, Tonka Trucks, Action Man, Sindy and My Little Pony
• Playground favourites such as Space Dust, Hubba Bubba, penny sweets and school dinners
• The pop culture, fashion, TV shows and films that shaped us - Grange Hill, shell suits, perms, Dr Martens, and taping the Top 40 on cassette
• Simple pleasures like the Ice Cream Van, the Milkman, painted school bags and long days at the park

Written with affection and packed with memories, this book is a love letter to the last truly analogue childhood - messy, noisy, creative and wonderfully free.

Whether you grew up in this era or just want to understand what made it so special, The Golden Age of Childhood will take you on a joyful trip down memory lane.

Perfect for anyone who remembers when fun didn’t need Wi-Fi.
