Comments on: The Return of Pamela Freedman https://spitalfieldslife.com/2010/08/07/the-return-of-pamela-freedman/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Thu, 19 May 2016 13:12:44 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.4 By: David marks https://spitalfieldslife.com/2010/08/07/the-return-of-pamela-freedman/#comment-1089280 Thu, 19 May 2016 13:12:44 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com.s83288.gridserver.com/?p=10633#comment-1089280 New the family very well . I was with Pamela’s daughter Denise for a few years and we got engaged in 1969 .. I worked in the Alice part time for a few years in the sixtys when I was on the knowledge .. He was a lovely man Albert (Alfie) he got in the cellar moving every thing about every few weeks .. By the way Albert never passed away in 1964 it was 1969 I remember attending the funeral and the shiva . I was working in the Alice at the time and it was 1969 .. Sadly Denise and I split up in 1970 still think of her and wonder where we would be today .. Alf and Pam never thought I was good enough for there daughter .. My mother came from the same block opposite the Alice that Alf freedman came from .. I also worked for Alf freedman in one of his betting shops part time .. We were saving for our wedding .. They where good memories .. And my fathers parents belonged to Sandys Row .. There is a plaque on the wall with the of Marks on it .. Good memories.. David Marks

The Princess Alice holds a special importance for me for reasons I won’t bore people with…but it’s great hearing about its history and Pamela’s experiences. I used to live not too far away in Henriques Street.

If Pamela Freedmans grandmother was Ray Goldstein, wife of Solly Goldstein, I believe that Ray Goldstein and my Grandmother Yetta (previously Hyams) Greenstein were sisters or cousins! If I’m right, I would be delighted to hear from you.

My parents frequented the Princess Alice and I remember the piano player, though is he the same man in the picture?

The picture of Wentworth Street today is totally different to what I remember as it was once a bustling market, with stalls that sold fruit, fish, chickens etc., and was mainly a Jewish area

Thanks for the memories

Pamela looks so glamorous in the past and present photographs!
Her life so far is truly inspiring.

Best of luck to Pamela from an ex Boreham Street inhabitant
