As We Were: "The Renney Sisters" (Lynn and Patricia Hitchcock") in the old newsroom at BBC Radio Scotland in Selkirk 008_18

Silent footage (which is a pity) of Mrs Ella Phaup, well known and respected citizen from Selkirk in the Scottish Borders. To begin the animation, press the arrowhead in the bottom left hand corner IMAG0029

Moving images from "the Co-op" at Selkirk in the Scottish Borders (rather jerky, silent video, I'm afraid !) IMAG0003
