Bruce Munro is a well-known local personality who, until his retirement, worked in Saffron Walden for 60 years as auctioneer, valuer and surveyor. His memoir, illustrated with over 270 photographs, collects the author’s memories of people, streets, buildings and events from the 1950s well into the present century. This unique oral history is a hymn to the world we have lost, recording fond memories of a way of life that is gone forever.
