Liverpool to Kirkby Fields: A glimpse at life in a 1950-60s overspill town. by Kate Higgins (36 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

A tale of a personal account of a childhood spent in Kirkby, the first of the Liverpool overspill towns to develop - the story takes me back over 35 years to when my dad was employed during the second world war as a civil servant at the Royal Ordnance factory. With a population of around 3,000 made up mainly of farming people, the pretty little town was just a few years later to be developed into the new town with population figures reaching 50,000 at its peak. As I walk through Kirkby Park estate, 35 years since I left Kirkby, I recall the people, the events, Liverpool's working life and social life, and the humour which together made me and my seven brothers and sisters who we are today. I note the changes we lived through, the days when our telephone was the one in the red box on the corner of the road; our first television set; to today's technological world; scenes through the years of family life, school days where the remnants of Victoriana ran parallel with Beatlemania in the ...

1997 was a year worth remembering. Among its many gifts to us were Tony Blair, the death of Princess Diana and the Young British Artists, including a young Damien Hirst. In this comedy memoir, we're introduced to Martin, a troubled, downtrodden man, who launches himself into 1997 like there's no 1998.

Set against a backdrop of iconic music and the dying days of Britpop, we're whisked through the year via extracts from Martin's scabrously funny journal.

As the year unfolds, he lurches from one disastrous situation to the next, ruining relationships and antagonising the people around him.
