Mini Retro Sydney is a fantastic visual throwback to the ‘Harbour City’ in the 1950s and 60s, with never before seen images gathered by vintage photograph collector Ian Collis. Breathtaking photos of Sydney’s most valuable landmarks provide a retrospective insight into the architecture, automobiles, fashions and popular pastimes of Sydneysiders of the time. Retro Sydney will have the reader in awe of 1950s and 60s events such as: • The Opera House under construction, and after completion; • Jaw-dropping shots of the Harbour Bridge from different sides of the Harbour; • Queen Elizabeth II on her Royal Tour of Australia in 1954; • The Royal Easter Show in the 50s and 60s when it was located in Moore Park; • Old, industrial Pyrmont long before the Star Casino was established; • Sydneysiders on the beach with families, lifeguards and lovely ladies in swimsuits; • Suburbs we are all familiar with, as they were in the 1950s and 60s.

Today, high-profile derby games trigger a febrile atmosphere and the odd brawl. But Derby Shrovetide Football was truly wild. One mob pitted its wits and muscle against the other. Players broke down walls, dived into freezing rivers and crawled through sewers. Thousands of fans filled the streets and civilised behaviour was suspended. But why did this game achieve national notoriety and then disappear in 1846? The Derby Game charts the century-long struggle to kill a tradition and the fanatical resistance of players and supporters. It is a fascinating tale of mobs and magistrates, bobbies and brickbats, dragoons and defiance. The book then explores the rise of the local derby, as football fever grips the UK. It covers the early clashes of local rivals in the Victorian football hotspots, tracing the roots of some time-honoured rivalries and separating the friendly derbies from the hostile. Discover how the derby became part of a global language as Britain exported football to the world.
