Index
Social Events, Places and Things
This index lists places, things and items of sociological interest.
It does not list people who may be found in the short alphabetical register,
page 51.
Note that reference to a particular person may be found not only in their own entry, but also in the entry for their parents or children.
Indexed items are of two types:
[1] Those that receive only passing mention (eg, the names of schools).
These will be in light text in the index.
[2] Those that receive more detailed treatment (eg, picnics at Crawley Bay in the 1930s, or life on a sailing ship). Many, but not all items of this character are in bold print in the index.
