Born in 1956

From petticoats and Brylcreem to Cliff Richard and dancing the Twist, from Saturday morning pictures to your family’s first TV set, this book will have you exclaiming ‘Oh I remember that!’ every time you turn the page!

You’ll rekindle literally hundreds of happy, sad and often hilarious memories – whether of favourite cuddly toys, fly-by-night fads or fashionable brands, your first visits to the cinema or garish styles you’ll be amazed that you ever wore. They’re all here, alongside coverage of those eye-popping news stories and seismic world events that helped shape the world you grew up in – and memories, too, of the much-loved stars of sport, stage, music, film and TV who lit up our lives from 1956 to 1973. 

And to really bring back the memories of your first 18 years, scan our Spotify QR code to hear the Top 10 from each of these years and live that awkward school dance, brilliant birthday party or summer romance all over again.
