Lewis Moody has seen & done it all in a glittering career that has seen him win the 2003 World Cup under Martin Johnson's captaincy lose in the final of the 2007 World Cup after the most shambolic passage & now lead England under Johnson's management in the 2011 World Cup. Moody has not only been an ever-present in the England team for the past decade
- a team that has featured some of the most iconic & interesting figures in British sport such as Jonny Wilkinson Lawrence Dallaglio & Jason Robinson
- but also until his shock move to Bath last summer he was a key part of the all-conquering Leicester Tigers team that became champions of England six times & of Europe twice. Moody does not just explore the incredible highs of which there are many but also the equally incredible lows. There was the bullying at school the time as a child when he was so near to death that the doctors advised his parents to prepare for the worst & later the many occasions when he wanted to walk away from a sport that has produced so much success when the injuries were mounting up & becoming so serious that Moody felt he had had enough. The end result is at times a painfully funny & at other times painfully sad story of sporting triumph achieved only after leaping major obstacles along the way.

During the years between 1890 & 1930 Lewisham was a byword for solid comfort & respectability. However this was a time of rapid change when the wealthy merchants who had dominated Victorian Lewisham were moving further from their workplaces in london & the streets were being colonised by thousands of lower middle class settlers. The commercial clerk was the characteristic denizen of early twentieth-century Lewisham. These new inhabitants were great lovers of postcards & most of the pictures presented here more than two hundred in total & taken from the huge number of them published during that classic period. Very few have appeared in book form before. There are photographs of Blackheath (both the Lewisham & Greenwich parts) Lee central Lewisham Hither Green Ladywell Crofton Park Catford Bellingham Southend Village & Grove Park. Most of the sections can form the basis for an interesting historical & architectural walk. But hurry! One of the old Lewisham buildinhs illustrated here has probably been demolished while you have been reading this! ...

Leyland Then & Now

For 800 years the Leylanders had clustered around their medieval village cross but all this changed rapidly after 1870 when the town embarked on nearly a century of phenomenal growth. One of the stars of the Second Industrial Revolution Leyland became a world leader in both the rubber and motor vehicle industries and -- prospering through two world wars -- full employment was the norm. Optimism peaked in the post-war years but the 1970s saw the beginning of the collapse of large scale industry in Britain the half century of inertia which choked town centre development plans and led to the progressive and irreversible demolition of the district. By 1990 Leyland Cross was presiding over a semi-derelict wasteland before the investment and redevelopment of the mid 1990s began a steady recovery
from the days of stark economic re-adjustment. Leyland Then and Now traces the story of these developments through a wonderful collection of old photographs which are compared and contrasted with modern equivalents unveiling amazing changes and unexpected similarities.
