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.
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, born Cole (27 Jan 1906-14 Feb 2002).
An on-going, spare-time transcription of my mother's work.
With guest appearances recording recollections of everyday life in the 1940s, particularly during World War Two.
Produced as a tribute to the memory of my mother, to bring her work to a wider audience.

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

Join me in the 1900s - also known as Join me in the 1900's - is published with Brian Cryer's Website Publisher.
