Introduction to Layout

Windsor Street Days is a family story seen from the perspective of the writer. Every family comprises many members, of different ages, and different generations, and each will have a personal view. When five people witness an event, there will be five distinct variations of that event. Sometimes, the recollections will clash.

History distils. The passage of time sees the departure of eyewitnesses, and their accounts are no longer primary but secondary. We now proceed upon the path that leads us to conjecture, patching up with what we think we remember, and in time, we move into that realm we call might have been, probably becomes possibly, and all conjoin a hundred years from now into myth.

This new 2025 edition restructures the whole story into six parts. Each part stands alone with its own opening and closing chapters.

As the Six Parts are worked through, so too, will the url addresses be updated. If a link has been saved from the past and now returns a blank page, simply move to the Windsor Street Days Category.

If the chapter cannot be located, that is because I have removed it to Drafts and am rewriting the chapter.
