Summary
Growing Up in the Fabulous Fifties: A Nostalgic Journey
Children of the 1950s have so much to fondly remember: Muffin the Mule, Andy Pandy, and Dennis the Menace became like family. For many, the freedom of the riverbank or railway platform was a welcome escape.
The postwar welfare state offered free orange juice, milk, and healthcare, and leisure time was filled with football in the street, double features at the cinema, a game of Ludo, or roller-skating adventures.
