Hi Larry, I've recently discovered your channel and thoroughly enjoyed seeing all those wonderful photos of the East End of London that I love. I lived in East Ham until I was 19yrs old. The cherry on the cake was seeing the photo of my school Raines Foundation in Arbour Square,Stepney. Thank you so much for these wonderful archives.

Hello Larry, hats off to you, sterling work. You feature the Prince Alfred pub in your pics I was told once Lonnie Donegans dad had it at one time ? Also the bits I do know is as follows, Ronnie Scott was born in the east London maternity hospital, and Kenny Jones faces in havering st, Des O'Connor lived in Aylward st near the George pub, whose last owner was the great Dennis Sorrel (Chelsea fc) and the fellow who wrote ' the white cliffs of Dover lived in Head st, was it coincidental Vera Lynn sang at the Troxy and recorded it, and Lionel Bart was born in Lukin st. You probably know a few and others in your blog. I went to school st mary and st Michael's and then Cardinal Griffin. Your doing a great vlog.
Thanks Larry, you have reduced to me to tears ( again) someone once said " the past is another country" i think that as far as we old timers are concerned...he was spot on.
Shame it wasn't like that now it's so expensive people don't talk much anymore everyone is gone and not many East end people about now thank goodness I still am❤
I love all your old photos of the East end specially bethnal green how it used to look I live in bethnal green I've seen the changes thank you for the beautiful memories ❤
Great pics from by gone days I recognised a few bits there ie the camel in Bethnal Green (been drunk in there) the canal with barge on it I reckon is the canal that runs down along and in between Vicky park and old ford rd obviously everyone knew of tubby issacs and his stool in Aldgate up by the hounsditch and I think I rrcogmised crisp st market as well there shame the old east end has changed so much I preferred it as was in these photos
Great work, thank you for all the time and effort you have put in Larry I lived in Bow in the 60s & 70s. I wonder how many people remember the paraffin delivery trucks (Esso blue ) there were two lorries around the east end owned by a man called Bill Pierce, as a kid I worked on one with a man called Ron ( known as ginger) me and a blond kid called Kevin he was around my age only 14 worked on the weekends all around bow and Stepney ring the bell, filling people’s containers and carrying it back to them, it was really heavy work for kids, but oh boy we felt so special! I remember at that time people still had coal fires, but paraffin was that little bit cheaper. I don’t think modern health and safety would allow the working conditions and hours……..but I know it made a man of me! When Ron wasn’t selling paraffin in the summer, he had an ice cream van, he would load a mobile cart for me (Lyon’s maid) and I would go around the tower blocks, knocking on peoples doors selling ice cream! If anyone remembers any of this, please let me know. Gary Coade.
I was born in the Royal London in 67 and grew up in poplar a lot of these photos were before my time but I will never forget what a special place it was as in Tower hamlets I had family everywhere over the island Bethnal green Stepney bow iam gutted what's become of my beautiful East London ❤❤
It was a bad thing because everybody started leaving the east end it left the area open too mass immigration 😢 we should of stayed and fought for a community's iam still in the east end 56 years later my family moved too Essex years ago I can't leave East london it's my home for better or definitely worse I was born and bred in poplar and I will probably die in poplar.
I recognised it too couldn't remember the name of the road somehow I knew someone was going to make that comment . I used to take a train from Dagenham to Aldgate East and walk up Brick Lane . I bought a pair of Martens and a pair of brogues there and other gear from Club Row .

MY WHITE ROOTS THANK YOU
THANK YOU .FOR A SHORT TIME I WAS BACK TO A TIME I NEW BEFORE THE EASTEND WENT CRAZY
The Pitt’s Head in Canning Town… closed in the mid-late 90s
Indeed a lost era
Shame no details where but really enjoying
I went down that London and remember an eastend pub called The Peacock,off mile end Road
Only a person who grew up in the East End can feel the pain of seeing it now, they know what I'm saying.
I worked in Allied Suppliers in Bethnal Green Road in the early 60’s
I always scrutinise the photos in case my Nan, grandad, mum or dad are in them. Wapping and Stepney.
Just us just all us Eastenders!! I miss the simple days surrounded by my people!! Never forget what the tra8tors have done!!! 🏴
Lovely video Larry, thank you. Your dad looks a bit like Eric Sykes, very good looking.
My family come from Stepney and Limehouse, according to my family tree, there where a few generations that lived in that area. My Nanna moved to Portsmouth after marrying my grandad and where I grew up… Wish I knew move about where they lived and my family history, thanks for sharing ❤

Before the invasion great times
Great and it’s wonderful to see all the white privileged all the immigrants must have been building Britain so we’re too busy to be in the photos
The scary thing is I've been in most of those pubs over the years..
Thanks Larry, you have reduced to me to tears ( again) someone once said " the past is another country" i think that as far as we old timers are concerned...he was spot on.
A tough, proud, bunch of people who were not ashamed to say " I AM BRITISH.
The truly wonderful Eastend of London. Gone but not forgotten.
I was born in Bethnal Green 1942 these pictures are absolutely brilliant and reflect the great atmosphere I was lucky enough to be born into
Shame it wasn't like that now it's so expensive people don't talk much anymore everyone is gone and not many East end people about now thank goodness I still am❤
I love all your old photos of the East end specially bethnal green how it used to look I live in bethnal green I've seen the changes thank you for the beautiful memories ❤
My mum dad owned the The prince Alfred London E.14 . My best years❤
Aint just the east end that's gone, all the towns in England have gone from when I was a kid. 😢 🏴
My England ..lost ...
