Social History

From the amazing memory of Leslie Baden Woodland, at the age of 82 in 1982 he wrote,

“Another newsagent on the other corner then Mr Jackson’s fruit shop and then a shoe shop which was run in my early days by Mr Tom Tunnecliffe. He later entered State Parliament and was State Treasurer. Tom was a fine man.”

Morris Langlo West (1916–1999)

For a year West worked as a publicity manager for the radio station 3DB, during which time he learnt to write and produce radio plays. In December 1945, with financial support from Biddy’s family, he set up the successful business Australasian Radio Productions Pty Ltd (ARP) in Smith Street, Collingwood. He kept a frenetic working pace, sometimes recording two serials at a time, moving from room to room as he recited the storyline for each. His actors were sometimes confounded by both the speed of his delivery and his capacity to maintain parallel narratives. In addition to adapting popular novels, he wrote four original radio serials over a decade. In 1948 ARP moved to larger studios at West Melbourne and in 1950 Joyce (Joy) Patricia Lawford, a business college graduate, was appointed secretary and office manager.
