The individuals offering these memories hope to provide pleasant reflection for those who shared these years, valuable accounts for younger generations and, for newcomers, an understanding of the town’s past. It provides some understanding of everyday life in this ancient market town in an eventful period and demonstrates the humour, courage and indomitable spirit of the local population.
