Res.4.24 Male resident, c. 30 yrs, married, corporation tenant, female interviewer, 18 October 1961
Scope and Contents
INTVEE lives with his wife in a block of six flats. INTVER notes the couple have done extensive renovations to the interior of their flat and that all the paintwork is a pleasant shade of celadon green. It is comfortable and free of draughts and noise. INTVEE thinks the Granton houses are better built than the Wardieburn ones and the ones in Muirhouse are worse than both. INTVEE describes St David's School, which he attended with siblings in the 1940s before Granton School had opened, as "wee tin huts" down by Granton Square. It took both Catholic and Protestant children despite being a Catholic School. The majority of the summary records a discussion on his job and includes INTVER's thoughts on INTVEE's psychological state.
