OLD LEITHERS MEMORIES 2011

This is an interview given by Frank Ferri in 2011

I never met Frank but he often posted on local Facebook pages and he was obviously a fount of knowledge on past Leith and sounded like a lovely bloke. Was sad to hear he died not long after Mary Moriarty, another Leith legent. RIP

I went to Trinity Academy Primary and we used a slate and slate pencil in 1956. The headmaster was a big man called Mr Brown and my first teacher was Miss Campbell.

Great video Frank and great memories. My dad Jimmy Crean had the newsagent shop, next door to the Ard record shop in Great Junction St. My mum Nan had the wee sweetie shop along the road on the other side.

Mike could you please try to join Oldleithers reunited on Facebook. A lot of people knew your Parents. Be aware, you have to answer the questions posed to allow you to join.

@@grahamawhyte Hi Graham. Not on Facebook at the moment but will see about joining and can pick it up then. Thanks good to hear from you.

[@grahamawhyte]

Mike, check out Old Leithers on KZbin. It’s another short film. You might see people who you know and will certainly see people who used your Dad and Mums shops

[@mikecrean8849]

@@grahamawhyte will do. Thanks.

[@grahamawhyte]

Mike, I’d be grateful if you could possibly email me on [e-mail] I’ve mentioned your name to others and they would love to know more details about your Parents. Especially from Prince Regent Street.

Well done Mr Ferri ❤. I was brought up about ten years later in the banana flats.

Just heard today that he's passed. Sorry to hear.

He was a true Leither. Known him for many years as part of the Oldleithers group
