I don't want to sound hyperbolic, but there was something majestic about this presentation. It lauded the people in the photographs in a quiet but fiercely sincere way that said that these seemingly plain and ordinary people were heros. Also, I was struck by the sense of solidarity among the people, the expressions of friendship and joy that are not contrived for the camera -- I saw real brotherhood and sisterhood among the people. Were people emotionally better off in those less genteel, less affected and grittier times.
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
Well it definitely ain’t the old east end we knew don’t know about third world though not with all posh newbies buying up all the old great terraced housing and forcing what few locals remain out when I was kid round there back in the 70,s the houses down cadogan terrace by Vicky park were squatted and derelict now ude b lucky to buy one for £1500000
Great picture of one of my favourite pubs the camel in Bethnal green still a brilliant pub to this day .

My father was born and raised at Bow fire station in the early 1920s wish there were some original photos of there .

Great comment.👍
Perhaps they were truly in the same boat, as crooked politicians from all parties try to tell us now...
Mr. Proctor, just want to say, you've done an awesome job of showing the world what "True Grit" is, people now-a-days could use some.
Life took me away from the East End., it will always be my home...
Makes me think of Palm toffee and black jacks, R whites cream soda
Cream soda and ice cream 🎉
