Episode Details

Ninety-five-year-old Brian Baker’s childhood unfolded inside York Town Hall, where his father was caretaker for three decades and the family lived on-site. From dancing with his future wife Margaret in the hall’s grand Edwardian halls to sliding down jarrah banisters with his brother, Brian’s life was steeped in history and mischief. He even captained York’s premiership-winning football team in 1954. After decades away, he returned to the town he calls home — finding peace, but few of his old friends still around — and shared stories of wartime dances, his father’s floor-polishing contraption, and the black lace dress that started it all.
