Frank Condie- Childhood in Leith to shipbuilding in Henry Robb.

Mar 30, 2020

Frank Condie was born in 1938 and was brought up in Leith, around Bonnington Rd. He talks us through school days, doing a milk round, memories of war, going to the pictures, the dancing, The Gaiety Theatre and an apprenticeship in Henry Robb's ship yard. He also chooses some favourite music- Izzy Bonn, Billy Daniels, Bill Haley, Elvis and Frankie Laine.
