Life in rural Warwickshire preserved for the ages
Discover a long-lost interview, resurfaced 50 years on, of Welford-on-Avon tradesman Alec Bryan.
Former ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Birmingham reporter Mike Gandon sends in a digitised interview of an interview featuring memories of the early 1900s, coronation of King George V and the First World War.
Mike interviewed Alec in the kitchen of his thatched cottage, in 1975, and let the tape run on and on, to capture village life as you've not heard it before, with the onset of thrashing machines, and going to Stratford to collect his ration books.
