About the Event
Remember the days when Monday was always a wash day, tin baths in front of the fire and knitted bathing suits on the beach – join local author and historian Andrew Clark for this fascinating talk about the good old days!
‘North East Life in the 1930s, 40s & 50s’ recalls life at home when the washing was done in a poss tub; the wireless was the main form of entertainment; every community had a cinema and a holiday would be a trip to the seaside.
Andrew also shares memories of Christmas, childhood games and early television.
An illustrated talk with the chance to take a closer look at some of the heritage objects that Andrew brings with him.
Our evening talks are really popular and often sell…
