Anita Smart's grandmother

Anita Smart's brother

Family fall

Listen to the item

In 1983 Anita Smart's brother fell off the roof of a building while erecting a chimney. It was at his funeral that Anita discovered her family's strange history of falling from great heights.

Her maternal grandmother fell out of a window, an uncle fell from the Beecham's clock tower and another uncle fell from the Pilkington building.

Michael Rosen asks Anita whether these tragedies might be due to a daredevil streak in her family?
