This fascinating collection of photographs, many of which are from private collections and never previously published, documents dramatic changes around Havant, Langstone and Hayling over the last hundred years. Robert Cook has created a memorable picture of this community by emphasizing the importance of people and everyday life, weaving into his captions many entertaining anecdotes - often told in the words of local people themselves. The result is a book that will give pleasure to everyone who knows the area, residents and visitors alike.
