Few can say today that they have spent much or all of their lives in one place. \u00a0here is a recording of eight people who have lived in the Yorkshire Wolds village of North Dalton longer than most. \u00a0Their memories go back to a time very different to today. \u00a0No running water. \u00a0No electricity. \u00a0No flush toilets. \u00a0A life of work on farms, or service to the community. \u00a0They experienced the village occupied by allied troops, evacuees and the “Free French”. \u00a0A village boasting three shops, two pubs, blacksmiths, tailors, cobblers and two chapels.<\/p>\n

We are grateful to them for braving the microphones and tape recorders to share their memories with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
