Previous Episode: Leith memories through old newspapers and books. Part two
Next Episode: Maureen Sweeney Leith jobs in the 1960s
This episode was originally broadcast in 2019 on Thelma FM, our internet radio station. We were showing Derek Tilbrook's film Persevere during Leith Festival that year. Derek popped into the studio to talk about the making of the film, his own upbringing in Leith in the 1980s and 90s and the changing face of the area. We can't recommend the film enough. For those who haven't it go along to the Vimeo video platform and search for 'Persevere 2008 film.'
