| Description | Interview with Mrs Hancocks. She talks about her loss of sight and the likelihood that her condition is hereditary, and describes how she benefited as a child from having an older brother who also had a visual impairment and was not made to feel that she couldn't see. She discusses her education at Harborne and Edgbaston, receiving singing tuition, singing as soloist in a choir and entering competitions. She goes on to talk about her job in one of the workshops at Wolverhampton, working on the Jacquard knitting machine, the kinds of clothing she produced, and her decision not to move to Nottingham to continue her singing (tracks 1-5).
