Olympics: A snapshot history of the Olympic Games
Olympics is a light-hearted history of the world's greatest
sporting event, brought to life through recently commissioned
photographs taken around the streets of Britain.
What has Olympic Chicken & Pizza got to do with Usain Bolt's
historic 100m victory? What about Olympic Hair Salon's connection
with Eric Liddell and the famous 'Chariots of Fire' Olympics of
1924? Why is Olympic Tyre Car Repairs the perfect image to explain
the chaos of the bike racing in London in 1908? The cheating
shenanigans of a marathon runner; that'll be an Olympic Taxi for
Frederick Lorz.
From 'Olympic Kebab Shop' to 'Olympic Sewing Machines', the
photographs help tell the most outrageous and fascinating Olympic
stories since the Games began all the way back in 776 BC.
The book costs just £8.99 and £1 from the sale of every book
will be donated to the Charity.
