Escaping Suburbia
New Paperback Illustrated
Postscript summary
Born in 1955, on the cusp between austerity and boom, David Eveleigh grew up on the Wirral – on Merseyside, but not in Liverpool – with an instinct to explore the past as ‘the tail end of the Victorian world was slipping away’, while experiencing the transformative 1960s.
Product information
Full publisher description
Born into the gap between the eras of austerity and boom, David grew up in Merseyside amid an inexorable tide of progress, developing a fascination with the past. With a vivid eye for detail and boundless childhood curiosity for everything from steam trains to 'My Old Man's a Dustman', his account documents the uneasy relationship between worlds old and new. Featuring unique photographs and authoritative observations on architecture, social and local history based on forty years' work in museums and heritage conservation, Escaping Suburbia offers a different view of the 'swinging' sixties.
