Memories Memories have the capacity to bring history to life; they enrich bare facts and help the generations which come after achieve a better understanding and empathy for the past. However, to quote the American novelist, Barbara Kingsolver "Memory is a complicated thing, a relative to truth, but not its twin." So do enjoy the following, but bear in mind not everything may be completely accurate. If you too have memories related to Whittington (of say at least 30 years ago), please do get in touch. |
