My Grandfather's Clock: Emeritus Professor Graeme Davison on Four Centuries of a British-Australian Family
Saturday 6 July 2024 at 12:00PM
Melton Library & Learning Hub
Event Description
From their tribal homeland in the Scottish Borders he follows them to the garrison town of Carlisle, from industrial Birmingham to Edwardian Australia, and from the Great War to his own suburban childhood.
This is the story of an ordinary family’s journey from frontier warfare and dispossession through economic turmoil and emigration to modest prosperity.
Based on a lifetime of creative scholarship, My Grandfather's Clock is a moving testament to the power of family history to illuminate the present.
