Born in 1949

This book of wordsearch puzzles is packed with people, things and events from your year of birth onwards.

If you were born in 1949 - with your 71st birthday in 2020 - then this is the wordsearch book for you

1949 was the year that laundrettes opened, Longleat opened to the public and the BBC began broadcasting outside London. You won't remember that - but how about the books you read as a child? Do you recall which household goods were still in short supply?

And then you grew up... but what happened in the year you turned 21? Which Olympics can you remember? What were the biggest UK hits on your 40th birthday?

You'll find all these and many more in this nostalgic look at UK life over the last 71 years.

This is a large-format word search book with easy-to-read type. Some of these Time Travel Puzzles are easy; others have been made fiendishly difficult with clues to solve, missing words and false beginnings. But each one is bound to bring memories flooding back for anyone born in 1949
