A lovely piece, Gillian. An old New Society colleague and friend (the art editor, Tony Garrett) sent me the web link and I enjoyed reading about your early days. I’m glad to learn that you have a book on Memory coming out in the autumn. I will look forward to seeing that.

Thank you Gillian, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this account of your early working life in London and am now working my way through your previous very informative blogs.

This is the first time I’ve ever read anything by Gillian Tindall. Really evocative of how I imagine London in the 1950s. Must read more about dragon’s, soot and extra marital affairs!

What wonderful powers of memory Gillian has – she transports us to the world she saw around her then so that we too can see and feel it. I look forward very much to her forthcoming book.

I worked in the City the 60′s and 70′s and then made a complete change to Hampstead also to the world of books and I never regretted it . Gillian you call yourself an ignorant girl who knew nothing and before us we see an image of a generation totally immersed in a small black box walking down the street?
