THE . lesser known b u i ld in g s in and around /C l i th e ro e , which could disappear with the passing of time, are being cap­ tured for posterity by the pen of local artist Mrs Cynthia Laing. Mrs Laing (47) is mak­

Bawdlands area, where she set up home on returning from Norway last year. Interested in the his­

as clearly as if it were yesterday the sheer joy and delight and almost hysterical happiness with which it was greeted down our street. The church bells rang
