(Born 1935) Interviewed April 2022

Marion has lived in Maldon all her life. Her grandfather owned a barge and she worked at Hoffmans, a ball-bearing factory in Chelmsford, catching the 6.30am bus every morning. She remembers wartime and sleeping in an Anderson shelter. She and her husband lived in ‘rooms’ when first married and she recalls many of the old shops in the High Street.
