Accommodation: Refused relocation to a maisonette in Muirhouse due to it being several stories up and INTVEE's husband is an invalid. Family has been in the pre-fab for five years, previously lived in Dixon Street, Leith in a corporation flat with a kitchen and bathroom. Moved owing to husband's disability and now wish to move from prefab because son has to share a room with his two sisters. INTVEE likes the pre-fab despite the damp and not in a hurry to move. Little social contact with neighbours, pre-fabs quieter than rest of district but newer tenants rougher. People in the Orlet houses were rougher than the pre-fabs but those through the tunnel [Niddrie] were rougher - a lot of breaking in going on. Wouldn't like to move into a flat because the family would be too noisy for older neighbours, Granton too far out, hoping for Birnyfield or Meadowfield. Granton and Craigmillar too rough.

Leisure: Son and husband go fishing, INTVEE watches televsion - "Probation Officer" and "Wagon Train".

Religion: Husband is a Roman Catholic but doesn't go to church. Son has quite an interest in religion and a man from the Jehovah's Witnesses comes once a week to read to him.

Employment: Husband works at the British Rubber Works. INTVEE works six nights a week - "it's a wee break, I find it relaxing - its nice to get clean and dressed up in the evening and go out".
