It’s a pity because most of the pubs are now gone forever.
One recording I’m glad I made was of my dear mother a few years before she got dementia, I had the voice activated recorder in my shirt pocket and she didn’t know it was there, after she got three ‘Snowballs’ down her I asked her to tell me about the times when she was a little girl back in Granby Lane, the tenements in the city centre where she (and me later) was born, delightful memories, she was in great form, all completely natural and spoken in a true Dublin townie accent, the family all have copies and treasure them, rest her soul.

Oh, Jem what a lovely post.I just loved that, I really did.
I suppose I am lucky to have many videos of my parents.
I took my late Father, back to the East End of London, where he was born, I videoed all his family history, and I treasure it.
