Capturing the changes in the worlds of fashion, work, leisure, TV, the arts, sport - even the weather. A book to share, featuring photographs, images and memories for anyone who was born, grew up in or experienced this period when we said a reluctant goodbye to the swinging sixties and a new period of challenges emerged. This is an 82-page book packed with many never-seen-before images from the famous archives of the Liverpool Daily Post and Echo accompanied by facts and figures from their award-winning team of journalists. It is the year-by-year account of the 1970s - a flight of fancy to a time when The Beatles had gone their separate ways and disco, rock and punk dominated the headlines. Scenarios where perms, tank tops, kipper ties were fashion essentials along with the new midi dress and platform shoes. A nostalgic salute to the ongoing Liverpool legacy, created by such sporting giants as Red Rum, John Conteh, Kenny Dalglish and Bob Latchford. Heat waves, the three-day week, chopper bikes, the opening of Knowsley Safari Park, the Silver Jubilee - the 70s are stamped with an indelible identity of economic and social change.
Liverpool 70s - Souvenir of the Decade is a perfect gift or souvenir for all ages. A timeless and priceless keepsake of a great city. Also available in this series Liverpool 50s, 60s and coming soon Liverpool 80s.
