Audio: Remembering Bitterne Park 1925-1940

Mary LongMary Long, who was eighty when we talked to her, has lived in Bitterne Park for most of her life - and loves it. Hear how her father bought their house for £500 cash, about shopping at the Triangle, where she used to play, and why she wasn’t allowed to go to what is now Sandringham Road (but did anyway!). These recordings and the text Mary based some of them on are now available to subscribers of our digest+ channel.
