My name's Tony Collins of Jim to free data. As a young lad, I arrived on the end of '69, 1969. I've been here ever since and out the lot of it at the old school from where we originated from Leicester Square. This is about three of us left in the firm still working, and this is my life here after it.

Earth, as the saying goes, fern on the world over touch touch will they will keep on that way. Is that way? As the same as I keep these people in planet. I've been making shoes for 25 years. Yes, it's been good! I enjoyed doing it — something different, something unique. We'll get our own maker stamp. My mind's a crane. I'll make one foot a day, one pair.

I have seen on telly better than I'm going to know theatres on. I'm a night out just to earn. I don't get time to well after. Pierre liked the soles, put the centerpiece on in the middle to strengthen the shoe itself. All right, cement them, getting them, tucum tie them in bundles. Pass it on to the next man, he gives it to the makers, and the makers start making it.

I've been in shoe trading a long, long, long, long way. I mean, I'm getting on now. What to say? Old? I am right when I say he is! So I started off when I was left school, about 16, 17, going back way back. Since then, I've been in the shoe trade up until now. You know, a few firms were here—8 years, 9 years, 10 years—and all of them, to be honest, the old clothes ended up closing down in the end. Wife read survive is the big name that has been going for years.

My name is Sheila Goodman. I've worked at Freeze of London before. My husband works here as well—38 years on the machine and two years in the rough room. We've been married 35 years in March, but we worked here for a year. We was here four years before we actually got married. We didn't tell no one that we was getting married. We got married on the Saturday, and on the Monday, we're back into work.

I'm reading him 11 an emu. I'm Christine up in there, I guess, as you can see I'm doing or something. I live local, so I haven't got to fasten coming. There's not many people out there who can do this work. You have to come in and learn to do the work, yeah, because there's not many ballet places about.

What do ballet shoes? Stories of accomplished? But they're not his biggest, not as well. Normally, horses or preacher, you know that? Fried's is a long time; it's a 90-years obstacle. I have met quite a few dancers, and there was curious who made their shoes, as I was curious. This is very my shoes before the audience.

Don't be no dancers without the dices; there won't be no makers. Like goes round in a circle; it's just so that are made. It's unlike anything. Kills you.
