During those years Cedric Greenwood hitch-hiked through, visited or worked in many areas of Britain, and made sure that he had his camera with him to record, with admirable foresight, the gradual transformation of the country he knew and loved. As we travel with him from south-east to north-west, from Kent to Cornwall and north to Inverness-shire, his comprehensibly captioned pictures vividly evoke a world and a way of life that today has all but vanished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoftback, 64 pages, colour photographs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Nostalgia Collection","offers":[{"title":"Secondhand (GB102\/399)","offer_id":40087700504685,"sku":"9781857945003","price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1910\/7111\/products\/9781857945003.jpg?v=1653475418","url":"https:\/\/rail-books.co.uk\/products\/the-nostalgia-collection-no-94-transport-travelogue-by-road-rail-and-water-1948-72-part-6-9781857945003","provider":"Rail Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
