About this listen

Nessie paints a vivid picture of her childhood in Leith. Starting off in Tollbooth Wynd, at the bottom of Kirkgate, in a single end. At the age of four the family had moved to Burns Street. She tells us all about life at home, of gas light, out side toilets. Her father being away at war, in Burma. The great sense of community but also how family life wasn't always the easiest. It's another evocative step back to bygone Leith.
