In pictures: When we were young exhibition


 

Ted the bear

One of many toys donated to the exhibition is Ted the bear; Ted the bear belonged to Ann:

“I was four years old and across the road from us on Thornhill Road was a lady who bred dogs. I was fascinated by this and spent a lot of time watching her grooming, clipping and greasing them. That’s probably why poor old Ted looks more dilapidated than he should for his age, because all the treatment the dogs got, he got – clipped and greased!”
