Poppy day came from when the war finished in the French trenches. That when they filled all the land back in again, because you just can't imagine what it must have done to the countryside, that all the poppy seeds, because they're like new, turned over soil.
Imagine walking through the streets of South Leeds, where every corner holds a piece of history. In this special episode of HUN Podcasts, Ken Burton invites listeners on a heartfelt journey through the community's past. Joined by Angela Gabriel, a former councillor for Beeston and Holbeck, they dive into the essence of Remembrance Day. Ever wondered why we wear poppies? They unravel its origins and the deep ties to the World Wars that shaped our present. Ken doesn't stop there.
He introduces us to Harold Tinsdale, a legendary figure from Beeston and Holbeck, whose stories are woven into the fabric of the community. But it's not just about war and remembrance. Ken also sheds light on the historical significance of Holbeck's churches and schools, painting a vivid picture of a community rich in heritage. This episode is more than a history lesson; it's a tribute to those who have sacrificed for a better world.
As Ken poignantly puts it, 'It's a nice idea to remember people who have given their lives, but it's also a reminder of what we've got to do, to try and make this world a better place'. Whether you're a history buff or someone seeking to connect with community stories, this episode offers a touching narrative that resonates with the heart.
