Voices from history

Two children have recorded phone calls 'from history' giving first-hand accounts of life in Britain in days gone by; a child in the 1960s whose parents emigrated to Britain from Jamaica, and another calling from the 1950s to talk about the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. These can be played online or downloaded for playback at a later time.
