This list details all the interviews used and featured in bold text throughout this book. Some interviews are recorded as oral or written histories in museums up and down the country, some can be seen on DVD, and some were undertaken by the author where possible.
Note that, because so many interviews did not reveal maiden names, the author worked with mostly married names for consistency. Permissions have been obtained from all the various appropriate copyright owners (individuals, websites, publications and museums) for all of the following.
