Hoylake Then & Now
Author: Jim O'Neil
Publisher: Pitkin
ISBN: 9780752467931
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In the 1800s Hoylake was a summer retreat for upper-class gentlemen staying in the latest fashionable hotels, bowling, horse racing and ‘taking the waters’, while for locals it was a busy fishing village. However, by the 1900s Hoylake had become a bustling coastal resort for people of all classes, offering seaside entertainment, shopping parades, public houses and bed and breakfast establishments. So what changed? In 1866 the railway arrived, making commuting feasible, and workers were also receiving paid holiday for the first time. The growth this caused, the new hustle and bustle and also the older, slower ways were captured by a new breed of Victorian photographic pioneers — and what a wonderful job they did! In ninety stunning full colour photographs, Hoylake Then & Now illustrates these changes, and the accompanying captions provide a real insight into the town’s past.

An Eye for Birds
Author: Bruce Kendrick
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781849954952
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
As a ten-year-old, the author contracted TB and was sent to an isolated sanatorium, deep in the Cheshire countryside. There he was bedridden for six months. On fine days, nurses would push the young patients, in their beds, out onto a large veranda and it was there that his love of birdwatching developed. On leaving hospital, he shared his passion with three schoolmates and over the next five years this small band of birders explored wildlife locations on and nearby the Wirral. Their travels and love of nature was epitomised when, aged 16, they spent part of their summer on Bardsey, a remote island off North Wales as part of a small, professional team of naturalists. As a young birdwatcher, the author is fascinated when he observed nature first-hand and began to grasp the basics of the science of evolution. This is a 'rites of passage' story of one lad's journey through those early formative teenage years during 1957 to 1962 when birdwatching sat easily in his life alongside football, girls, radical politics and rock bands. Each chapter traces the boy's expanding world of nature and then, in later life, he reflects on those times. A passion for nature has stayed with him throughout his life and as an adult, he explores the way views are formed and become a base reference framework to work out his personal ethics and morality. On revisiting all his old haunts each visit triggers further questions, reflections and musings. How does nature manage, over all those years, to continue to inspire and stimulate him? What does it mean to be part of nature? How does nature manage to heal? An Eye for Birds is a series of reflections of an individual, trained in the sciences, revisiting his teenage wildlife haunts and looking back to those times with mature perspective and sentiment that add their own colours to the story.
