Glynne-Jones Tim The British on Holiday
The British may not have invented the holiday as such, but they were largely responsible for the way many other nations spend their leisure time today. Seaside resorts, package tours, holiday camps... Britain gave these gems to the world, largely so we could later go and enjoy them in a warmer climate. In a series of nostalgic snapshots, this book records the way we spent our time off last century, a formative period in history when our holiday dreams evolved from a weekend in Blackpool to a fortnight on the Costa Brava.

And from the Roaring Twenties to the comical eccentricity of the 1970s, the British way of life underwent a massive revolution. This book captures that sometimes awkward development in a selection of poignant photographs that will bring fond memories flooding back.
