Identifier: EUA IN1/ACU/S3/4/2/3/6

Scope and Contents

Topics discussed include: Living accommodation; Niddrie.

INTVEE lives with her husband and two children in her mother's three apartment corporation house. She and her husband have got all their furniture and are keeping it in storage which has cost them £50 to date. They will take anything to get more room. She doesn't think she will be lonely, she knows of two women already gone to Muirhouse and says she will be busy with the children anyway. She is however concerned about getting a high up flat as the children are used to running in and out of the back garden and they will be difficult if they have to wait to be taken out. She thinks Niddrie is a terrible place and had heard that people there were starting to call the area Craigmillar so residents of Craigmillar were having to change the name of their district from Craigmillar.
