In this 46th edition of the Thelma Tapes, we begin a new series 'Our Working City' as part of the #edinburgh900 anniversary celebrating 900 years of the city of Edinburgh.
To complement the topic of 'City of Industry' one of the Edinburgh 900 themes, we'll hear from folk about their working lives, work practices and attitudes around work and the work place through the decades.
In this first episode Kenneth G Williamson recollects his upbringing in Granton and how his schooling lead to a 45 year career as a book keeper and Scots Law Accountant at a prestigious Edinburgh legal firm.
The Living Memory Association would like to express its thanks to the City of Edinburgh Council's Edinburgh 900 fund for supporting this podcast series.
