Description

Derek Houghton was born and bred in London's East End, Bethnal Green, when horses and carts were just as predominant on its streets as motorised vehicles.

It was at a time when National Health was not even a dream, or any kind of benefit existed, the only benefit available was by taking the "Means Test" (Dole Money) that most East Enders were too proud to take.

Poverty was never any stranger to their doors, unemployment was rife, and the pawnshops did a roaring trade.

People then could walk the streets in safety, the streets were the children's playgrounds, where they played unhindered.

As hard as times were, neighbours showed great compassion in helping each other.

Each street was like a village, where everybody knew everyone else.

World War II was to bring about an even stronger bond with each other.

Above all, it was the love of a street - "Our Street."
