I started off in Quay Street in a house in one of those little passages that go across. Then we went to live in the harbour aboard a boat called ‘ The Tina’, a sixty footer, and whether that caused my mother to be poorly I don’t know.  She went into Havenstreet for a while with ‘consumption’ as it was known in those days, and then up to Scotland, and I, being the youngest of the brood, I went up there with her and attended school up there for a while.  That was a sad business, but there it was.
