This fascinating book looks at life in the spa of town of Cheltenham during an important decade of its history. A period that saw rapid growth and expansion - the industrial base formed during the war in the town continued to evolve, GCHQ was establishing itself and a host of insurance companies were taking up residence. All of which resulted in a demand for housing never before seen in Cheltenham.

This was the town that Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones grew up in and proves to be a wonderful insight into a bygone age.
