This collection of memoirs is the result of Withington Civic Society's Oral History Project, which aims to create an archive of memories of Withington from those who recall Withington in past times. Many of the contributors have a real affection for Withington as it was: an affection which comes over well in these articles. The memories of Withington during WWII are particularly poignant.
We also include a collection of memoirs,
Bygone Withington, from an Oral History project in the 1970s, covering memories from WWI onwards.
Many thanks to the interviewers and to all contributors.
