Having introduced Sybil Perry’s memories yesterday, today we are going to look at her early memories of her Granny Smith’s sitting room. When Sybil and her parents returned to Market Lavington in 1924, it was this house they lived in – Broadwell House on White Street.
Here are some memories of that sitting room, nearly ninety years ago.
Sybil’s memories of the sitting room at Broadwell House, Market Lavington in the 1920s
Amongst the many delights of Sybil’s memories are the sketches she has drawn.
Stuffed bird under a glass dome
The fireplace
bellows to get the fire going
The toasting fork
The dog on the mantelshelf
The gramophone
What fantastic memories they make, not only for Market Lavington. They are genuine pictures of life in the 1920s.
