Old Leithers head for reunion from across globe

PEOPLE are set to travel to the city from as far afield as Canada, California and Australia for a reunion of "old Leithers" next month.

The reunion will be held in Leith Dockers Club on May 6, between 2pm and 6pm.

Grandfather-of-six Frank Ferri, who lived in Leith from 1935 to 1958 and is helping to promote the event, said: "This is a golden opportunity to put on record memories of Old Leith from the last generation with a reasonable recall of how Leith used to be in the years between the 1940s and 1960s, after which (there were] major developments."
