Bristol in the 1940’s book
Reece Winstone’s book “Bristol in the 1940’s” - and yes, there is indeed an apostrophe in the title, before anybody thinks of castigating me for poor punctuation skills! - is already something of a period piece in itself, given that it was published way back in 1961 and so plenty …
