Description

Inscription and ex-libris sticker inside front cover. No other marks, no creasing to covers or to spine. A very clean very tight copy with bright covers and no bumping to corners. 151pp. Wakes Week was the annual holiday for generations of northern folk, when they made the annual trip to the seaside. Illustrated with eighty contemporary photographs and postcards, this book tells the story of wakes week from the earliest days of the railways to what remains of the tradition today, with a special emphasis on the golden years between the 1920s and the late 1950s.
