March 2003, Extract from
email. Helen Chalmers (email tba ),
Toronto , Canada.
"Just
visited your site again......I am so proud
to have born in Bridgeton...when I look at
the letters from all over the world from persons who
lived through the war years , through
poverty, unemployment, poor housing, little
nutrition, school dinners and schoolboard
clothing....had no toys other than balls,
peevers, girds and cleeks and the dirt and
broken glass you played shops with.....but
had the good fortune to have had wonderful
neighbours who shared your joys and sorrows
and anything else that they had....We lived
through hard times....and still emerged with
wonderful memories and only too happy to
return to our roots......
