In the decades following the final collapse of the British Empire in the 1960s, being British became viewed as something to be ashamed of, rather than something of which to be proud. However the tide is turning and the country is coming to grips with its heritage and learning to appreciate the unique national character and attitudes that unite the nation.
This book looks at every aspect of British life over the last 150 years contrasting beautiful black and white images with equivalent colour photographs of similar scenes and activities in the 21st century. Combining illuminative and informative text and over 200 gorgeous photographs this book provides a unique window on Britain past and present.
