520 John Cooper vividly recalls the dark days of the Second
World War - air raids, rationing, Home Guard manoeuvres,
prisoners of war on the doorstep and the excitement of VE
Day - and the long, carefree days of post-war childhood
that followed, when the pace of life was much gentler than
today. The author recalls local shops, now long gone, such
as Harriden's grocery store and Mr Lines the blacksmith,
as well as Harpenden's two cinemas, in one of which he was
briefly employed as a projectionist. Memories of the
glittering Festival of Britain and Queen Elizabeth II's
Coronation celebrations, together with a nostalgic journey
back to Harpenden, round off this trip down memory lane,
which will surely appeal to anyone interested in the
history of Hertfordshire within living memory.
