In the year when we are celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, we remember people who belong or used to belong to the same generation as Her Majesty. To honour and preserve their life stories a book has been created. This book is a collection of precious memories, extraordinary achievements and amazing stories shared by our dear Owners and their families. We are happy to have some of the actors still around to share their stories with us.
It started with an email in 2019 from Mr Philip Brodie (son of Mrs Brodie, Farthing Court, Apt.54):
Dear Olivera,
It was lovely chatting with you last night and learning about your great interest in the residents who have incredible life histories, and the ambition that you all have to enhance the “people element” of your roles.
Following on from there, please find attached as promised the chapter in the book, produced in 2003 by our synagogue about members of my mother’s generation, with her piece written in the first person. I know this will be interesting to you, and perhaps a number of residents.
Kind regards to you all,
Philip.
Then Yasmin had an idea…
Dear Owner/Owners
I was reading a short autobiography last night, written by a previous Owner, that had been included in a book called “Book of Memories”.
I had a thought, why not compile a collection of short “life stories” of Farthing Court Owners and put them in a book for present and future Owners to read.

Please enjoy some fascinating stories and photos from our collection!
