Growing Up In Newton Burgoland

The East Midlands Oral History Archive has recently interviewed a woman who grew up in Newton Burgoland in the 1920s and 1930s.

• Hear her describe the village as it was when she was growing up.
• Hear her talking about the social distinctions that existed within the village.

We have divided her story of growing up into four sections which deal with homelife, her schooling, the church she attended, and why she left the village. Use the signpost to navigate your way around this exhibition.
