As a £10 pom who came to Australia I miss my home in the east end with all the cockney accents. But it's not the same anymore with all the pakys and arabs. Still love me pie n mash
I cannot really believe want this is about and is loverly to look at each one is so far back or the wear of clothes and want they do and all the odd in-between ones to all things were good
There was terrible poverty in the East End, but there was also a strong community spirit. This video was a fascinating view of a vanished culture - great pity.
Too reminded the..publics the reason..there's slums, becuz..is so golden, definitions too..old, also its blogs, the victorian's erased, the 1776s to..1800s century's that's the..reasons..for the slums, the publics knows it..and they can. Save's it..but all..depended..if the flats, or house's n..dreadful conditions it..can't be saves so..get a publics, peoples, get a big vehi..bulldozers and haves it torn down..cleans up piles..old bricks saves too..uses again..or makes new bricked too..bldg, a new foundations..

What a great slideshow, so well put together and narrated. I lived in Leytonstone in the early 70's worked for Freightliners at Stratford after a spell in the Merchant Navy, I came to America in 1974 and have lived here since. Love watching the old videos and film clips, thank you.
So well done, thank you. My family come from Leyton, all the way back to my great grandparents, probably further. My parents moved from there when I was 3 years old to Essex. Still connected to my East end roots although I no longer live there,my home has been in the Borough of Camden, which I love, for the last 30 years.
I went to school in Stepney in 1955 & remember all the bombsites. I went back years later & did not recognise the area. You threw away your cultural heritage & replaced it with cheap tat. I recall that popular song from my childhood with the line "Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner...." who sings that now!!
Brilliant nostalgia,having first hand knowledge for 50 years, never far from your mind ,you will always be a Londoner however posh you may get,it is in your blood.,many thanks for memories.
they worked so hard only to have their government destroy these people and their way of life, and in time their history. Now can some one tell me what they did to deserve that?
Why are you complaining…many of those starving white people went to Essex where houses now cost £500k and higher!! In east London you were living in filth poverty
Bluetoothmod so very wrong to send working class Londoners to live in other cities as London councils don't have affordable homes for them. Sent away from the city that is their home and the infrastructure of their families. Shameful
An old lady was in a shop in the east end the other day and asked for a couple of pounds of Apples Ohhhhh the shop keeper said we only deal with kilo's these days. That's fine she said I'll have a couple of pounds of kilo's in that case. God bless her I love the old East End
That is what a global empire gets you. These fools laud themselves with their ancestors' achievements but don't want to deal with the aftermath. Bunch of deluded clowns playing the victim card.
Lived here all my life, seen a lot of changes some good some bad, it’s not like it use to be, a lot of corruption in the councils, try to get a council home is nonexistent
My grandparents went to war twice and now we have lost our culture . England has been handed over to islam.so it's only memories and old photos of a London now dead that we cherish.
Yes our lovely east end has long gone , I was born in tramway Avenue Stratford Hospital , and lived all over the east end , and always supported the mighty O’s
@@tommylucy4738 lived in Mile End from birth until I was 14. , then moved to custom house , then Leytonstone ( which was the place I liked best ) the Walthamstow , just a bit more Then North Chingford , My dad used to takes us down the lane 👍 on sundays early 60s after we waited outside the pub while he had a couple of beers , then on the way home cockles and shrimps for Sunday tea , he used to like the Bancroft Arms , but we liked the Old Globe , because we could sit in the back yard there !
Im a Yank but lived in England for seven years, lifelong Anglophile. But none of that matters in that I think this is a brilliant piece of Film Making. I hope you haven't given up, the quality is enormous. Cheers, I hope to see more from you!
I grew up on the island in the 60s, we didn't have much of enything really, but it was great, blue bridge one way and a wait, iron bridge the other way round and down poplar high St, I lived in stebandale St
Nice to hear. Where I grew up in Wandsworth was v.ordinary (not poor exactly). Some poeple kept their house key on a string inside the letter box, for security ! People in an established community watch out for all. The slums needed clearing, but loss of community was part of the price.
pie mash and jellied eel with parsley liquor gravy. it aint gone make your own, whats wrong with you lot ? youl be telling me you cant get whelks cockles and winkles ( Common periwinkle ) next
