Description

This ebook edition contains the full text version as per the book.

Doesn't include original photographic and illustrated material.

This oral history of London's East End spans the period after the First World War to the upsurge of prosperity at the beginning of the 60s - a time which saw fresh waves of immigrants in the area, the Fascist marches of the 30s and its spirited recovery after virtual obliteration during the Blitz.

Piers Dudgeon has listened to dozens of people who remember this fiercely proud quarter to record their real-life experiences of what it was like before it was fashionable to buy a home in the Docklands.

They talk of childhood and education, of work and entertainment, of family, community values, health, politics, religion and music.

Their stories will make you laugh and cry. It is people's own memories that make history real and this engrossing book captures them vividly.
