Hollingwood
Vivienne Foulks grew up in Hollingwood, in housing provided for workers at Staveley Works which was nearby. Her recorded oral history can be found here. She describes the house she lived in, the games she and her friends played, and attending local schools. Hollingwood was unusual in having hot water piped to all the houses in the village, and this disrupted the sledging run!
Here are some photographs of Vivienne Foulks’ family:
