I recorded this from the radio when I was 17. Wonderful tales of Portland recalled in 1960. Long-gone characters speaking about Island life in a different age. The voices, well-known to Islanders in the 1950s and '60s are now largely forgotten. Listen to their lovely descriptions of Portland Stone quarries, humour, superstitions, landscape, the sea, the Navy, and fishermen. all told to Johnny Morris in Portlanders' rich and humorous accent, which is also fading into history.
