IN 1932 my elder sister got married. They rented a terrace house and her husband gave her £100 for furniture.
She went to Whitby Oliver’s in Micklegate and bought a dining suite for the living room, a three-piece suite, sideboard and china cabinet for the “front room” and two bedroom suites for the two bedrooms and a clock with Westminster chimes.
I wonder how much all that would cost today.
