At the turn of the century transport was mostly horse-drawn; water came from a well; and lamps were used after dark. By the 1960?s most families had cars, bathrooms and electricity, Hampshire looks towards the sea, though its interior is essentially rural in character. This century, however, has seen profound changes in the nature of life in the country. This is a goldmine of information about life in Hampshire in the first half of the century. It stands as a permanent record of a past way of life, which can be read and enjoyed by this generation and those to come.* This is a NEAR VG copy of the 1st./1st. with some shelf & reading wear reducing it to GD.*
