Remembering Tinbridge Hill in Lynchburg, Virginia 1920-1970 (USED)

Tinbridge Hill is an overlooked neighborhood along the 5th Street corridor near Old City Cemetery. It has an illustrious past and a core group of people who have lived their entire lives within its limits. Some of Tinbridge Hill‟s most interesting history lies with them. Between August 2010 and January 2011, residents and former residents born between 1923 and 1957 met at the Yoder Community Center in Lynchburg, Virginia, to record fourteen oral history interviews. Most were conducted in small groups of neighbors who knew each other well. One of the interviewees also wrote a memoir, as did two other former residents.
