DescriptionTracks 1 - 5: The interviews are with Mrs O'Toole who is also featured on the previous recording MS 4000/6/1/66/19; the interview is not recorded in her home and the location is not identified. A study by local social commentators about the St Ann's area has categorised the houses as 'slum dwellings' and where many residents are living in 'poverty'. The tracks frequently run into each other.
Track 1: The discussions continue on from the previous track. A new discussion about the kind of shops in the area. The discussion returns to the clearance process and her worries and concerns that she doesn't understand what is happening with her family's housing reallocation. 3.12 mins.
Track 2: The discussions continue on from the previous track regarding her housing reallocation. A new discussion about concerts at the club. 3.39 mins.
Track 3: Discussions about the new houses and how she will not be able to afford the higher. The discussions return to the subject of being rehoused, that residents leave with regret and find it hard to settle. 3.22 mins.
Track 4: Discussions return to how she has been very happy in St Ann's; she resents the bad publicity about the area: that residents 'were poor but happy' and that 'it breaks their hearts to watch the houses coming down'. 4.15 mins.
Track 5: Silence. 1.51 mins.

Total: 16.21 mins
