Jean Denneyβs Story
Jean Denney was 15 and living in Dalton-In-Furness during World War Two. Her dad and brother were in the Navy and so βit was such a reliefβ.
Despite rationing she remembers that they were able to pull together a βgood spreadβ for the celebrations which were held at the Lord Nelson pub in Dalton-In-Furness. There was plenty to drink.
The army band came down to play and she fondly remembers dancing with the soldiers: βIt was the first time Iβd ever really danced with a man".
