  2. Friends Neta and Bill in conversation: Northfield to Marchmont.

Mar 11, 2021

Neta Percy(80) and Bill Garden (86) are regular visitors to The Wee Museum of Memory and this chat with them was recorded in 2019. We hear about the Coop at Northfield, the shops at Meadowbank, including the Italian ice cream shop and shopping in Marchmont. We move on to knitting and a hated Fairisle hat that just wouldn't go away. There's tales of getting a row for wearing wellies to school, daily milk deliveries and what you wore to work in the 1940s and 50s.  Two old friends having a great wee blether.
