Mehr Twentieth Century Tales

Welcome to 20th Century Tales, a podcast series featuring interviews with my grandfather who was born in the 1920s recorded shortly after his 95th birthday, between Christmas and New Year 2022 to 2023. The Second World War details the raids on Grimsby. Plus, you will hear about a life on the railways as an engine driver and the story of the 1952 Farnborough Airshow Disaster. A lot has happened and changed around the world in the near Century since my grandad was born, so you will hear some outdated terminology which some listeners may find offensive. Enjoy!

Episode 5 - Modern Life & Transport Tales

This final conversation with my grandad covers a wide range of topics, focusing mostly on modern life & transport. We discuss politics, changing technology & his first trip abroad when he was in his 70s. There’s memories from the 1951 Festival of Britain, watching the Moon landing & the 1966 World Cup, plus plenty of football chat including his progressive thoughts on the women’s game. A fair few transport tales crop up, mostly discussing his matchless motorbikes, unpopular sidecar & his many breakdowns. It’s a nice random rambly chat, with my parents popping up towards the end as we discuss the biggest differences over the last century and his thoughts on the future. I hope you enjoyed hearing my grandad's Twentieth Century Tales. Thanks for listening!

Episode Episode 2 - Second World War in Grimsby Cover

Episode 2 - Second World War in Grimsby

In this 90 minute podcast, my grandad discusses his memories of the Second World War. He was aged 11 -17 during World War II, so has very clear memories of the War and raids on Grimsby in Lincolnshire. From hearing the war being declared on the wireless to building the air raid shelter, you'll hear plenty of interesting stories. There’s also the moment when the family home was bombed in 1943. Plus there’s his experiences in the air cadets, flying in a Lancaster & the story of his brother Ernie returning from the Belsen concentration camp. As with other episodes you will hear some outdated terminology which some listeners may find offensive. It's a lengthy episode, but it is fascinating to hear these War stories first hand from someone who lived through it in Grimsby.
