Sixties Childhood -
A Trip down Memory Lane
Scrapbook of a childhood in the sixties and seventies in words and poetry
Snippets of memories of school and family life in the sixties and early seventies: – What was it like growing up in the sixties in a typical council estate in the north of England? What did we learn at school? What games did we play? How did we survive without telephones, cars and computers? How did a child who was abused by her father cope at a time when there was no Child Line and when adults did not encourage children to confide in them? Would winning the pools make any difference to our family life?
Snippets of memories past and present in prose and poetry to form a scrapbook of reminiscences, some of which occasionally jump the years to explore the differences between the sixties and later life.
