This fascinating look at the past gives young readers the chance to see moments from Britain-s history captured in photographs. From young children that worked as chimney sweeps, to working in a grocery store where every product was individually weighed and wrapped by hand; from delivering milk using a push barrow, milk churns and ladle, to type-setting a newspaper using individual metal letters - this book focuses on life at work during the past 100 years. The photos explore topics that include being a telegram boy, working as a bus conductor and the original recyclers - rag and bone men! Many of the topics are -living history- and the author has interviewed people who were born during the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s who were delighted to share their Memories of Going to Work for the book.
