Caravanning in the 1970s - Andrew Jenkinson - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Caravanning in the 1970s - Andrew Jenkinson - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

This informative and entertaining book captures the atmosphere and essence of caravanning and motoring in the 1970s. In an era of high oil prices, industrial unrest and when the shine of the 1960s seemed to be fading, caravanning was an ideal solution for those who chose to holiday in the UK and abroad without breaking the bank.Drawing on his unique knowledge of caravans, Andrew Jenkinson not only describes the typical caravan holiday of the 1970s, he also includes fascinating detail about the different types and makes of caravan, including Swift and others, as well as the bestselling cars that towed them – from the Sunbeam Rapier to the Ford Capri. The book also discusses essential 1970s caravanning equipment, including portable TVs, stereo tape players, push-button radios, barbeques and portable fridges.The author shows how comparatively easy caravanning was in the 1970s compared with the present, including ease of access to the countryside and even the beach. Caravan sites also developed to provide ever more lavish facilities.Accompanied by period photographs of both 1970s caravans and cars, and drawing on the author’s unrivalled expertise, this book is an informative and enjoyable guide to caravanning in the 1970s.

The Eastern Region in the 1970s and 1980s - Andy Gibbs - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Eastern Region in the 1970s and 1980s - Andy Gibbs - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Travelling around the Eastern Region in the 1970s and 1980s meant Deltics and then HSTs on the East Coast Main Line; long and slow freight trains crawling across an industrial landscape; rattling DMUs running between large grey cities or picturesque villages. It meant locomotives and stations alike covered in a layer of brake dust and grime. For author Andy Gibbs, travel on the Eastern Region at first involved trips to London’s Liverpool Street and King’s Cross stations; a Student Railcard allowed trips to Peterborough; British Rail staff tickets and passes meant travel even further afield – York, Doncaster and Leeds, among many other places.With a range of evocative and previously unpublished photographs taken during the 1970s and 1980s, Andy Gibbs offers a portrait of the Eastern Region during this time, allowing the reader to enjoy this interesting period in British railway history in all its grubbiness.

North Wales Rail Scene: 1970s ? 1990s - Garry Stroud - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

North Wales Rail Scene: 1970s ? 1990s - Garry Stroud - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The North Wales railway scene has seen many changes over the years. Both freight and passenger services have been discontinued and are gone now. Apart from a few exceptions, so are many of the traditional semaphore signals associated with the route. While the picturesque qualities of the landscape endure, major engineering works have transformed many areas.Covering two decades between the late 1970s and the late 1990s, the photographs featured in this book offer a nostalgic look back to an era when locomotive haulage and first-generation DMUs were the order of the day, eventually giving way to the next generation of motive power.Superbly illustrated throughout, this book will appeal to all those with an interest in the history of the railways in this region.

Leeds United in the 1970s - Dave Tomlinson - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Leeds United in the 1970s - Dave Tomlinson - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Rarely has any club courted as much controversy, ill feeling and bad press as Leeds United in the 1970s. Manager Don Revie had transformed them from a struggling Second Division outfit in the beginning of the 1960s to being arguably the best team in Europe, but they were dogged by the Dirty Leeds tag for years.This book covers the period from Leeds United winning their first league championship in 1969 through to the end of 1979 and covers the heart-breaking treble disappointment of 1970, the FA Cup win in 1972, the shock defeat against Sunderland in 1973, the second title triumph of 1974 and the devastating defeat to Bayern Munch in the 1975 European Cup final, along with the controversies of match-fixing allegations against Don Revie and the succession of managers who failed to match up to Revie’s legacy, including Brian Clough and Jock Stein.The period was littered with controversy, criticism and some famous feuds with Bob Stokoe, Alan Hardaker and Brian Clough as United singlehandedly ushered in an era of near to the knuckle professionalism and gamesmanship.

The Southern Region in the 1970s and 1980s - Andy Gibbs - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Southern Region in the 1970s and 1980s - Andy Gibbs - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Southern Region of British Rail was not all third rail EMUs, although it often seems like it. There was a huge variety of freight and inter-regional workings that brought ‘foreign’ locomotives in to the area. During the 1970s, once the author had a camera, school holidays meant cheap Runabout tickets to get to more exotic locations like Southampton or Ashford. Later the Young Persons Railcard, and later still the British Rail free passes and priv. tickets, meant that his travels expanded.In this volume Andy Gibbs showcases the long-gone BR Blue era and the variety of trains that went with it in a fascinating collection of previously unpublished photographs, allowing the reader to enjoy this interesting period in British railway history in all its grubbiness.

Western Region Rail Scene: 1970s–1980s - Garry Stroud - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Western Region Rail Scene: 1970s–1980s - Garry Stroud - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

For many enthusiasts, the Western Region of BR was the home of the hydraulics, their following reaching almost cult status towards their later years. Even the Class 50s which replaced them created their own following and are now part of history. The images in this book represent not just hydraulic power but the changing scene on the Western Region during the 1970s and early to mid-1980s. In many locations the semaphore signals which were synonymous with the region are gone, with even Brunel’s main line completely transformed and electrified. Plenty of nostalgic rail-blue-era images of long-lost motive power, from front-line locomotives to first-generation DMUs, main- and branch-line scenes as well as depots are included, representing the whole of the Western Region from London to Cornwall, South Wales and north to Worcester. Garry Stroud presents a vibrant selection of nostalgic images from a time when hydraulic motive power was giving way to newer forms of traction and eventually HSTs.

Isle of Man Transport in the 1970s - David Christie - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Isle of Man Transport in the 1970s - David Christie - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Starting with a day trip (by air from Blackpool) in 1970, this book covers the rest of the decade with visits in 1971, 1972, 1976 and 1979. The island was a fascinating place for a transport enthusiast, with the traditional Douglas Corporation buses, horse tramway, Manx Electric Railway and the steam railway – not forgetting the Snaefell Railway and the lovely old Steam Packet Co. ships. These traditional ships were the main loss in later years, but changes had also occurred prior to David’s final visit, with the loss of the Douglas livery (all buses now being under a ‘National’ fleetname) and the rationalisation of Douglas railway station.With a range of interesting views and fascinating subject matter, Isle of Man Transport in the 1970s will appeal both to those who have visited the island and general transport enthusiasts.

Britain's Railways in the 1970s - David Hayes - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Britain's Railways in the 1970s - David Hayes - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The 1970s was a unique period for Britain’s railways. Steam had not long been replaced by diesel traction, the West Coast Main Line electrification was well underway with new and more powerful locomotives, and the colourful ‘rail blue’ livery projected an image of a new and altogether cleaner railway – there was plenty to be optimistic about.It was also a good time for the railway photographer – much of the railway infrastructure and complex track layouts of the steam era remained intact, freight traffic was plentiful and invariably passed through marshalling yards for sorting, and there were plenty of locomotive classes of various shapes and sizes, often regionally based, to pique the interest.As well as this, though, the seeds were being sown for an altogether different railway – one where locomotive standardisation was being pursued as a means of lowering fleet maintenance costs, where the freight focus was a migration to block trains travelling from supplier directly to customer, avoiding the inevitable delay and expense of the marshalling yards, and one where track layouts were being simplified and streamlined to increase speed and reduce permanent way maintenance.The photographs in this book capture a flavour of the railways during this fascinating transition period.

Essex Buses in the 1960s and Early 1970s - Philip Wallis - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Essex Buses in the 1960s and Early 1970s - Philip Wallis - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Essex held great fascination for bus enthusiasts in the 1960s and early 1970s. Eastern National operated right across the county, Daimlers and Leylands acquired from Westcliff-on-Sea Motor Services in 1955 and Guy Arabs taken over with Moore Brothers business in 1963 added variety to its fleet of Bristol-built buses. North Essex was a hive of independent activity, fleets such as those of Hedingham & District and Osborne’s of Tollesbury contained many interesting second-hand buses. Eastern Counties operated from Suffolk into north Essex. An eclectic mixture of vehicles provided municipal services at Colchester and at Southend, where services were fully coordinated with Eastern National. London Transport and Green Line services intermixed with Eastern National services in south Essex, where extraordinary independent Super Coaches also ran some bus routes.Philip Wallis chronicles the great variety of operators and buses to be found in Essex in the period before National Bus Company standardisation set in with a fascinating selection of images.

Japanese Steam in the 1970s - Yoshi Hashida - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Japanese Steam in the 1970s - Yoshi Hashida - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Though the famous bullet train launched in 1964, many steam engines were still operational in Japan before withdrawal in 1975. These wonders of narrow gauge railway engineering have often gone unappreciated in Western countries – until now.Japan’s distinctive four seasons offer the perfect backdrop for the rail photographer, and allowed Yoshi Hashida to capture steam engines working against a variety of gorgeous backdrops and stunning settings, including mountain scenes and coastal views. This book showcases some of his best shots of steam engines hard at work from 1971 to 1975, focused mainly on Western Japan.

Calmac Ships in the 1970s - David Christie - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Calmac Ships in the 1970s - David Christie - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

In 1973 David Christie moved house from Essex to Scotland, but it wasn’t till 1974 that he discovered the joys of sailing on Calmac’s ships. An initial sail on King George V at Oban in her last season was a great introduction but mostly, over the next three years, I focussed on Queen Mary on the Clyde, now safely back in Glasgow at the Science Centre. Most of the Clyde piers are covered, with emphasis on Rothesay. Ferries also feature with old and new on the Rothesay and Dunoon runs and the smaller boats at Largs. The west coast features with Oban as the main terminal, then Mallaig, before a session on the pre-bridge Skye ferries. A single visit to Ullapool finishes this journey back to the seventies.

Shed Bashing in the 1970s and 1980s - Colin Alexander - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Shed Bashing in the 1970s and 1980s - Colin Alexander - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Ask anyone who was a teenage railway enthusiast in the 1980s and they will regale you with tales of ‘bunking’ engine sheds or locomotive works. While many depot foremen would happily allow youngsters to wander their shed buildings and yards to admire the locomotives stabled there, others would take great pleasure in chasing us away. This meant that some depots could only be accessed by clambering through holes in fences or thick clumps of brambles, while constantly keeping a lookout for shed staff.We travelled the country visiting sheds from Inverness to Plymouth and were always ultra-cautious, keeping off running lines; all we were interested in was loco numbers and taking photographs. Occasional shed open days meant interesting motive power from other regions, and the most memorable events were probably when the larger BR Engineering works such as Swindon or Doncaster threw open their doors.This book shows all aspects of such visits from our youth.

Citizens of Hope and Glory - Stephen Lambe - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Citizens of Hope and Glory - Stephen Lambe - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Created in the late 1960s, fashionable in the early 1970s and hated in the 1980s, Progressive Rock has a colourful and eventful story. Many of the genre''s main protagonists, including Genesis, Yes, King Crimson and Emerson, Lake & Palmer, remain as popular as ever, while lesser-known names like Camel, Caravan, Renaissance, Van der Graaf Generator and Gentle Giant retain cult status. In this completely revised and updated edition, Stephen Lambe guides the reader through the early years as the music developed out of the British Progressive Music boom of the late 1960s into its own genre, and reached full maturity in the early 1970s. He also discusses how the music was received and developed outside the UK, particularly in the USA and Europe. Received wisdom has it that punk swept Progressive Rock away in the late 1970s, yet the genre never died. An early 1980s revival, spearheaded by major label signings Marillion, IQ and Pallas, burned brightly but fell away sharply later in the decade. However, in the early 1990s, the movement began to re-establish itself, largely below the radar, led by Swedish band The Flower Kings and American group Spock''s Beard. The rise of the internet and the decline of the worldwide pop industry allowed niche music - as Progressive Rock had now become - to flourish once again in the new millennium. Stephen Lambe has been co-promoter of the Summer''s End Progressive Rock festival since 2006. He helps promote Welsh band Magenta, and is Secretary of the Classic Rock Society, whose patrons include Steve Hackett and Roger Hodgson. He writes regularly for the magazine Rock Society.
