Based on the authors own experiences, Yes Sister, No Sister is the fascinating story of one young nurse who enters training in 1952 and eventually progresses to become a ward sister. At that time nursing was one of the few career paths open to young women, and Yes Sister, No Sister paints a fascinating picture of the lives of student nurses in Leeds. Naive and idealistic, girls entering nurse training were immediately immersed in an atmosphere of strict discipline: stern sisters, starched uniforms and early curfews. The work and training was hard and the hours long and tiring, and some did drop out. For those that remained, however, there were compensations: the satisfaction of providing good care, and the support and camaraderie of the other student nurses. A healthy dose of traditional Yorkshire humour helped them to cope with the rigours of hospital life, and the book is peppered with comic episodes.

Walk around the City of London today and you will see a modern, high-tech business city, one of the world's most important financial centres. But it wasn't always like that. The City is where London began and for many hundreds of years it was densely populated - teeming with life. Even at the turn of the 20th century there was a large resident population, compared with about 9,000 to 10,000 today. The City was a busy thriving place, the docks were still functioning and industry and commerce were conducted not only on weekdays but also in the evening and at weekends. It was also where families lived, worked and played. The many rare and atmospheric photographs and postcards in this book show how the City of London used to be. Once you've found out where to look and what to look for, you'll be surprised at how much of the old City you can still find...and this book will help you to find it.
