- Summary
- "With this collection of photographs the Onslow Historical Society records the beginnings of modern society, describing the dramatic changes in lifestyle which occurred after the upheaval of World War I. Snapshots taken by residents themselves picture not only cinema and motor cars, suburban growth and sports clubs, but also the broader horizens of the post-war era. The war had opened up the world 'beyond the village pump' and Onslow people motored to remote scenic spots thrroughout New Zealand and travelled overseas seeking the sources of culture." --Cover.
