Synopsis

For those of us that wish to escape for a little while from this modern world of “out of town” Shopping Malls, Mobile Phones, Flat Pack Furniture and TV Celebrity Shows, then read this book. “Uncle Jack’s Estate” is a true account of life experienced by a Lancashire working class family during the austere years between 1940 - 1960. Life was hard compared to today’s standards, but nevertheless it had its interesting, amusing, and sometimes hilarious moments. School days when you could be caned for misbehaving, that Great British Institution, the Co-op, houses without bathrooms, steam locomotives, the “Dandy”, the “Beano”, and many other nostalgic memories are to be found in “Uncle Jack’s Estate”, including an insight into the world of antiques.
