NEW OVEREND’S MORLEY BOOK NOW ON SALE

Overend's Morley 1970-1979

A new Overend's Morley book - Overend's Morley 1970-1979 - is now on sale.

The new book, priced at £12.99, features 100 black and white pictures of Morley people at work and play in the 1970s.

It follows the first Overend's Morley book, which focused on the 1960s and proved extremely popular when it went on sale in 1992.

Author Stephen White said: "After years of doing very little with Leslie's vast collection of negatives I decided to archive them properly.

"That task took me about 18 months. Then, last Christmas (2007), I launched the website www.leslieoverend.com in tribute to Leslie and his work.

"When this was complete I realised that some 16 years had elapsed since the first Overend's Morley book - and I was asked when I was going to do another."

Morley-born Stephen, now deputy editor of the Bristol-based Western Daily Press, said: "The last Overend's Morley book proved hugely popular as a Christmas present. I'm confident that this will be the same - and bring back lots of happy memories for lots of Morley people."
