Description
Nancy Woolven lived with her parents and two older siblings in an old cottage – built in the early 1850s – on land on the northern corner of the intersection of Marion Road and Norfolk Road in Marion. Her parents and then her brother ran a market garden there from the 1920s to the 1970s. This account of Nancy’s life from infancy to her early working life is illustrated with many photographs and is both entertaining and informative. It describes the old cottage and outbuildings on the Woolven property and other buildings that are no longer standing in Marion; what it was like to live in a house with no electricity or gas supply; what the market garden was like and how it was managed; children’s activities in the days before TV and mass-manufactured toys; residents of Marion in the 19th and early–mid 20th centuries, and connections between families; and social activities and cultural norms in the Marion area in the 1930s–40s.
To further enhance the value of the memoir for people researching Marion’s history, a MHRC volunteer has prepared some end-notes which give additional information about some of the people and places mentioned in Nancy’s memoir. HL
