Brentwood Gazetted

The author spent many of his years writing for the Brentwood Gazette and had access to its archives. The newspaper was launched in October 1919, at the end of one war, and Brentwood Gazetted takes the reader through those years to the outbreak of another in 1939 by using those archives. It is more than just the history and development of a small Essex market town between the wars. This was a period that saw great social change and upheaval, local campaigns and events such as murder mystery and intrigue. It shows how journalist styles have changed from those days when there was no TV and little radio broadcasting.
