Join me in the 1900s

A unique collection of childhood recollections of everyday life in a working class family in the early 1900s, covering the years of the 1911 census and the First World War - see site map.
Illustrated with pictures held in the family or by visitors to this website and its companion website on the Cole Potteries in Tottenham; some photographs specially taken by me.
Written in the 1980s by my mother, Florence Clarke (Jan 1906 - Feb 2002), with guest appearances recording recollections from the 1940s and 50s, particularly during World War Two.
A contribution to the history of everyday life in the early and mid 20th century.

My mother's recollections are © Pat Cryer; the holders of the original photographs own their own copyright in accordance with copyright law.
