The pictures in this book show the changes that have happened in the east end of London since the beginning of the 1960s. A rag and bone man rings his bell to let the residents of Stratford know he is doing his rounds to collect any old junk; a tradesman uses his horse to pull the barrow; the local greengrocer comes around once a week with supplies. One old man uses a bike to collect goods with a sign saying complete homes purchased local traders sell cockles and whelks at an East ham market; while others enjoy a pint and play cards in the local pub, one old man sells his goods at the docks selling shoe laces and boot polish. With never-before-seen images, this beautiful collection is a must see for all Londoners.
