Mum now 89 remembers this well.
ReplyDeleteI was taking her on a virtual tour of our home town and we came across this rare clip.
George Wain was well known to mum.
He later taught at St George's street school. We lived at 17 Syddall street.
That's me 57 seconds into the clip with mum on the left. I was 4 months old!!!
My very first appearance on film!
Well done Gerald!
