These recordings have been accumulated over the past 40 years and some of the speakers will be unknown to our current family and friends. However they are a contact with the past  and  as such form part of the history of the Wright and Sanderson families.

Winn's mother, Winifred Grace Sanderson lived in Fulham. Her mother  died when she was 12 and she had to leave school  to look after her father. These  recordings  were made in  1983 and present a graphic description of life at the end of the 1914/18 war and life in service with a well known composer , Norman O'Neill.

Rachmaninoff : 18th Variation from Rhapsody On a Theme By Paganini
This was Winn's favourite piece of music and she used to ask me to  play it to her (rather badly I'm afraid) during her final months.

This was how it should be played

Aunt Dolly was the wife of my uncle Alf. 
She had a corner shop on Nich0l Hill, Louth,Lincolnshire. Alf joined my father as the partner in the Wright Brothers, a two bus company formed in 1924. The following year aunt Dolly insisted on withdrawing from the partnership and my father then found another partner to form Wright's Bus Service. This was a success and later Alf worked as a driver for my father until 1950.
This recording of Aunt Dolly reminiscing was made in 1982.
