AS THE years roll by the once clear memories of years past captured in our mind’s eye begin to slowly fade with time.

Memories of places and how things used to be can sometimes be forgotten until an old snapshot photograph serves to ignite our memories and take us back to the times we cherish from long ago.

For any Hampshire Heritage readers longing for another dose of Southampton nostalgia then the latest offering from True North Books would be of great interest to you.

Memories of Southampton is a nostalgia book containing a pleasing collection of black and white photographs of Southampton from yesteryear.

Memories of Southampton is not so much a history book, but rather a nostalgic look at life, concentrating on how Southampton once looked, and how its citizens worked, played and lived.

Each black and white photograph is brought to life with well researched captions that give a little more insight into many aspects of the city’s history while also rekindling memories of what things were like in the “good old days” of bygone Southampton.

The nostalgia book will also invite inquisitive discussions with puzzled children who are eager to understand how things were in the Southampton before they were born.

Memories of Southampton is priced at £10.39 and is available from the publisher True North Books Ltd via their website truenorthbooks.com/product/memories-of-southampton
