(Born 1958) Interviewed September 2020.

Sheena remembers her grandfather in Wivenhoe who had a sad childhood, being sent to an orphanage in Bristol at the age of 3. Sheena discovered that his grandmother, Sarah, born in 1840, had run a shop in Maldon High Street. She used to hide sweets under her long black skirt for the children to find.
