As part of News Shopper’s glorious golden anniversary, we have teamed up with local history specialists Britain on Film to create a commemorative DVD.
Bromley – The Way We Were celebrates Shopper’s 50-year heritage and looks back further at life in bygone Bromley.
The 50-minute film, narrated by award-winning actor Howard Ellison, follows the town’s growth from a small Kentish market town in 1858 to the heart of a new London Borough in 1965.
Peace celebrations in 1919
A special feature on Bromley at war remembers the major part Biggin Hill played in the Second World War and the heavy price paid by the borough’s residents.
The DVD costs £16.70 including postage and packaging and includes a bonus DVD, The Way We Were in the 1950s, which includes reams of archive film and newsreel from 1950s Britain.
To get your copy, send your name, address, phone number and the number of copies you would like to The Way We Were, News Shopper, Mega House, Crest View Drive, Petts Wood, BR5 1BT together with a cheque for £16.70 (per copy) made payable to ‘Newsquest (London) Ltd.’
