In this first episode, I ask people what it was like to grow up in Kington Langley in the 1920s, 30s and 40s. Interviews are with Phillip Bird, Betty Bird and Don Elms, plus there are extracts from interviews conducted with villagers back in 1989. Many thanks to all those who agreed to be interviewed, to Joanna White for lending me lots of reference material and to my daughter Alexandra for the readings. Music is composed by me, Adrian Beeby. Hope you enjoy the podcast.
