For anyone interested in English accents/dialects there's a wonderful collection of sound recordings at
www.collectbritain.co.uk/collections/dialects/
It requires Windows Media Player - which I had to download for the mac - took a couple minutes on 0.5MB broadband.


One of the recordings from 1958 is of Tom Essey born 1880, in Turvey, Bedfordshire starts with memories of his mother making lace with bobbins (though most of his memories were of farming)

Click on 'date' to arrange the recordings chronologically and Turvey is on page 19. If you click 'title' then Turvey comes on page 60.
