The "Honeyball Tapes"

These notes have been taken from articles in the Leigh Post, the Leigh Parish Magazine 1993 & 1994.  The four chapters form a summary of the Honeyball Tapes.

"Marjorie Honeyball (ne้ Beadle) was born in Farnham in 1907, but lived in Leigh from 1912 until her death in 2004..  I spent a fascinating couple of hours with her in early 1993 and recorded her reminiscences which I am tempted to call the "Honeyball Tapes", extracts of which were published in the Leigh Post, the Parish Magazine."
