| Description | Interview with Mrs Rhodes. She talks about her fear of going out alone, the lack of opportunities for mobility training in the 1920s and 1930s and feeling like she was in a world of her own.

She explains how she builds up mental pictures of people and talks about her daily routine, consisting of household chores and leisure activities. She discusses her frustrated ambition to travel abroad, being reunited with her brother after being separated at a childrens home, living alone in a bungalow since the death of her husband, getting used to her new surroundings and her reasons for having furniture and other items placed in particular locations. She talks about making contacts with her neighbours and her relationship with them (tracks 1-7).
