| Detailed Description |
Christine & Arthur Kennedy reminisce about their memories of the Barton-under-Needwood area of The National Forest. From the first days when they moved to Barton from Birmingham, Christine tells us about the fun of the 'new' Pancake Race and the excitement of the age old 'Bonfire Night' celebrations. Recalling the "real, real Bartonians" who she has met and talked to since moving to Barton. "Miss Gilmour....first Lady to become a Parish Councillor... a formidable lady" Christine's enthusiasm for Barton is unmistakable as is Arthur?s enthusiasm for the heritage of the area. Listen to Arthur and Christine relate the story of King Henry VII's visit to Needwood Forest and hear them talk about the improvements that they have witnessed in The National Forest in recent years.
The transcript of the full interview is available to read with this contribution, whilst the audio file is a small clip taken from the original recording.
