Anne Speight (25th September 2020)

It was a delight to interview Anne Speight.

Anne is a lovely lady who covers a wide range of subjects in our chat from nursing to Lloyds Bank and smoking to university fees.

Of course, we talked about the pre-school owned and run by Anne in Yeadon Town Hall and there were some lovely insights into the gentle care she gives the children in her charge.

We finish our chat with Zumba, Brexit and her grandson.

So lots to listen to in this interview.

Recording this social history, chatting to different people about a whole host of subjects is a real pleasure, such an interesting and I think worthwhile project for people to listen to both now and in years to come.
