Buckley Shops
During the summer of 1969 the author was home from art college in Manchester and noticed a change in his home town of Buckley, North Wales. The original Victorian and Edwardian shop fronts were disappearing or being modernised. For many generations shops were the heart of the community. Fresh produce was bought daily and customers talked to each another as they waited to be served. He decided to record them before they vanished for ever. Only eight shops were captured in the time that was available to him using a mixture of inks and gouache on cartridge paper. They have remained out of sight in a closed sketchbook in a drawer, until now.

A snapshot of how ordinary people shopped locally for ordinary things.

British Thrillers, 1950-1979
The three decades following WWII are considered the golden age of the British thriller film. Newer characters like James Bond, along with established icons such as Sherlock Holmes, Miss Marple and The Saint, all contributed to the era's bountiful array of cinematic mystery, danger, excitement and suspense. For the first time, the extensive output of British thrillers from 1950 to 1979 is covered in one volume. Themed chapters cover a total of 845 films including spy thrillers, mystery thrillers, psychological thrillers, action-adventure thrillers, and crime thrillers. Within these chapters, films appear chronologically, each with a synopsis/review. Additional information provided for each film includes production companies and alternate British and U.S. titles, and the work includes eight useful appendices.
