Stan Eadie was born (1936) and raised in Leith. Apart from a short time in London he has always lived in Pitt Street, Leith. He is a regular volunteer at our Wee Museum of Memory at Ocean Terminal. Stan is pictured at Trinity Academy in 1948- 49. Back row, second from right.
Here he talks about playing on the street, his beloved spitfire pilot's helmet- which he really wouldn't take off! Exchanging banana for boules, going to the pictures, getting the belt for a wild prank at school and jobs you did for your 6d pocket money. Interviewed by Donna Mackie.
