“I have just listened to my interview and am happy for it to be on the website.” Clive Woods (19th March 2021)

Clive Woods is one of those people who is actively involved in the community. It was a real pleasure to interview him and chat about how a Civic Society works; how you go about setting up a community library and how to protect our greenspaces from the onslaught of developers.

Clive and his family emigrated to Canada when he was younger and later he returned to study at Norwich University and then settled in Yeadon. We had lots to talk about including conservation areas and housing and how that fits together.

A very interesting interview.

Please take into consideration when listening to these interviews that the meaning of language changes over time and that interviewees have not intended to cause offence by anything said which now may be thought to be unacceptable.

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

Thank you for visiting this website.
