I and other members of the IVS used to distribute soup made by Mrs Marsden Smedley. This was in the mid-sixties. It was vegetable soup with a slight wave of something like cinnamon. She made it in a big pan in her kitchen. I had no experience of grand people like her, but she was very friendly and approachable and we got on fine. I don’t remember ever seeing her husband. I don’t know how she found the people we took the soup to. Some lived in flats like the Peabody Buildings, and others in flats in the
top floor or the basement of one of the grand houses near to hers.
