Res.4.6 Female resident, age unkown, married, corporation tenant, female interviewer, 22 September 1961
Scope and Contents
INTVEE lives with her husband and six children. They are a religious family but don't attend church regularly but expect to so once the new church has been built. The children go to Sunday school. INTVEE expresses her dislike of the white church and mild outrage at the irreligious appearance and lack of religious atmosphere inside. INTVEE had moved to Wardieburn when she was two years old, thinks it has always been a friendly place. There was more strictness with children not allowed to play on the stair because of inconvenience to neighbours and noise. INTVER thinks INTVEE thinks of Muirhouse as very like Wardieburn in the early days - it perhaps gives the appearance of being rough and noisy because of the number of children; noise and broken windows can't be avoided.
