Made in Whittingham Street

Made in Whittingham Street is packed with memories of a working class community when life was a lot less complicated. It is a true story of an ordinary lass who grew up in the terraced streets of Preston in the 1950s and 60s and did ok. It's a simple tale of family life, lifelong friendships, family love and family loss, with a few other events along life's way. Courage, injustice, reconciliation.It is an interesting account of an ordinary life with some extra ordinary experiences. Playing football in the street with the lads, mischievous antics, leaving school at fifteen to work in a shoe factory, playing football in a women's team, hitch hiking to Italy, joining the Army when the IRA terror campaign was lurking in the shadows, meeting heroes, and saving the lost and forgotten history of the Dick, Kerr Ladies.Made in Whittingham Street will evoke memories of a bygone time. It will make you smile, or perhaps shed a tear, but it shows how with family love and support, anything is possible.
