Transcription
Any written text transcribed from a sound.
Mr Morton: Well we went from, I was born in Market Bosworth August 8th 1891 and we moved to Sharnford on the death of my grandmother, we took over the pub, the Blue Bell, at Sharnford. I can’t quite tell you when, I were only about six at the time. And then we went to Sharnford school under Mr and Mrs Barker, and then I left school somewhere around 13, I think.
Interviewer: What was the population of the village?
Mr Morton: Well at that time it was roughly, as near as I can say, about 480 persons.
Interviewer: Can you tell me what the roads were like?
Mr Morton: Awful. All water bound roads with no tarmac at all. No transport at all, only a carrier’s cart, that’s all there was.
Interviewer: So you were completely cut off?
Mr Morton: Absolutely. And every little outing to Hinckley used to be a red letter day, and it’s only three miles. There weren’t any such things as motor cars, or anything like, er, wireless, television, telephone, and electric light – no such things. We all had lamps, oil lamps.
Interviewer: So the village was completely self contained?
Mr Morton: Yes, well, not entirely because most of the men worked at the quarries in Stoney Stanton and Sapcote.
Interviewer: How would they get there?
Mr Morton: They had to walk. A distance of about two, two and half miles.
