| Interview summary | Autobiographical interview with Catherine Monteith whose family had moved, in 1933, to the new council housing at Park Lea Gardens. This interview includes many interesting details about life in Stranraer at this time, especially her schooldays at Sheuchan school (and later Park School), local shops and the impact of World War 2. Towards the end of the interview, Catherine tells us that the family (6 children) were initially given a large, indoor, metal air raid shelter. However, this was later uplifted to be sent to London to protect families there. |
