Reminiscences of New Brighton and Liverpool. The constant procession of ocean-going liners up and down the Mersey was a real spectacle. Wallasey has eight miles of promenade,fringed by golden sands with children's talent contests "Joytime" in Vale Park. The Tower Grounds, rides, skating and a figure of eight. We even had a circus and a zoo. The New Palace indoor amusement park was the largest in England. Tommy Mann's miniature railway operated in the Tower Grounds next to the Promenade. Trips on the Royal Iris, the ferries and a magnificent pier. And don't forget the largest outdoor swimming pool in Europe. What a place to grow up in! It was my Disneyland and on my very own doorstep.

A tale of two cities is the true story of our tenure of the City Pub, its history and the characters that crossed its doorway. Followed by a dip into the smorgasbord of Manchester's glorious past, from the clubs and pubs that have faded into history. To the buildings and places lost in the passage of time. With contemporary news paper cuttings of events and the people that helped shape the city of Manchester. I hope you enjoy the tale of two cities as much as I have in compiling it.

Set during the Second World War, this cliff-hanger begins in the condemned cell. Born in Liverpool in the 1920s David Stevenson joins the Royal Navy as a medic. He returns home unexpectedly and finds his wife with another man. Wild with rage he attacks the man and leaves him unconscious. Before the police apprehend him he sails onboard his destroyer HMS Decoy for the Mediterranean. Earlier, on HMS Hollyhock, a Flower class frigate, David had faced the perils of U-boat warfare in the Atlantic and is recommended for the Distinguished Service Medal. Now he is a fugitive and is exposed to the terrible carnage during the evacuation of Crete. But what will happen when the law finally catches up with him? This meticulously researched story, raunchy in part and told with typical humour, ends with a subtle twist that will keep the reader guessing until the last page.

Secondary Education for All cannot be considered independently from the life and career of its author, R. H. Tawney. Written in 1922 in time for the general election, it is the Labour party's first major statement on adolescent education. It reflects the historical insights and ardent political convictions of an economic historian turned socialist, and helped to bring the issue of education reform from the periphery of politics to a more central position. Through the introduction of free secondary education for all, Tawney hoped to rid education of class inequality over a generation. This is a classic and influential text which acted as a springboard for educational advance which reflects the growing educational and political debate of 1920s Britain.
