Viola McKenzie and friends, Bridlington, 1966
Viola McKenzie(centre) with her friend Mary (right) and Mary’s niece (left) on holiday at Bridlington promenade.
Viola met Mary at a wedding; neither of them knew anyone at the wedding, and so they got chatting and became lifelong friends.
Mary helped Viola buy her first house on Priestman street which cost £300. Viola later moved to Leeds road, and then to Duckworth Lane nearer to her workplace at Bradford Royal Infirmary, where we was a Nursing Assistant.
