They used to live in Columbia Road.

I remember seeing a lot of those faces, and a few pictures of my mum and dads cafe in the back ground. It was a good market, everybody knew each other. Sometimes there was a bit of aggro but you knew where you were with it.

Albert Harnett looks very familiar, I’m sure I used to buy plants from him when he was an older man.

Looking forward to reading George’s reminiscences. (I was at school with some Gladwells – wonder if they were related?)

Very pleased to have discovered your blog, by the way. As a Bethnal Greener in exile it’s bringing back some great memories.
