Everybody has a story to tell. Once Upon A Time In The Muirton is a collection of memories gathered and told by the people of Muirton in their own voice and in their own style. These podcasts capture the oral history, spoken by the people who lived, worked, played, laughed and cried in a 20th century housing scheme. Inevitably, memories being what they are, mean occasional mistakes on names, dates and locations will be made. But every story told is done with the best intentions

Episode 17 - Meet The Armours - 95B Dunkeld Road 1938 - 1978

Hello and thank-you for joining our latest podcast. This time we had the pleasure of spending time with sisters Kathleen and Leta Armour.

Kathleen lives in Australia now and was in Perth visiting her older sisters Leta, 92 and Betty who is 100.

Their growing family moved from 3 Hawarden Terrace in Perth to 95B Dunkeld Road in 1938. Which is the very beginning of the homes in Muirton being occupied. Not only that their grandfather James Macgregor was the Clerk of Works for Muirton and other building projects in and around Perth.

Leta was 8 when they moved to Dunkeld road with 3 brothers and 2 other sisters. Kathleen is the youngest of the family and was born a few years later in 1944 and lived there until she got married.

Kathleen and Leta will take you on a journey from the early days of Muirton up to the 1970's.

We also had the privilege to film Kathleen and Leta for the documentary we are putting together and David took part in the conversation in the first part of this episode.

This is an important episode as it takes us right back to the beginning of Muirton and we believe you'll enjoy the stories Kathleen and Leta share.

Happy Listening, Enjoy.

Dunks, Barney & David
