PG 24 Miss Wright receives some flowers, watched by the mayor
Words and photos by Dave Barry When Nellie Wright was born, Henry CampbellBannerman was prime minister, Edward VII was king and the British empire coloured much of the globe pink. Scarborough’s oldest resident, who has just celebrated her 109th birthday, is the 35th oldest person in the country. Miss Wright is four years younger than the oldest, Gladys Hooper, 113, of Ryde on the south coast. And she is six years younger than the oldest British person ever; Charlotte Hughes died in 1993, aged 115
years and 228 days. Born in Leeds on 17 April 1907, Miss Wright never married and attributes her longevity to “having nothing to do with men”. She also abstained from alcohol. Miss Wright had a sheltered upbringing. “My mother and father wouldn't let me out,” she says, adding that she never sneaked out either: “I was watched too much.” She says she never worked, apart from teaching at Sunday school, as her father, who was a tailor, kept her at home. She had a brother who was three years older. (Continued on page 6)
