I lived with my mum and dad on the ground floor of No.12 below Peter Moule and his family. Lesley was my friend and we used to play together. I also remember the Marvin’s, the Mitchell’s and the O’briens

My Dad and his siblings knew George Bastick and Leslie Herbert well as the Herbert’s lived in their street which was St.Peter’s Street (renamed to St Peters Avenue) in Bethnal Green. Not sure where the Bastick’s lived but he used to work on one of the Herbert’s stalls and they all used to hang out together when they were younger.

Hi, Larry Proctor.

Yes, you are absolutely correct – a mistake was made in naming the children in the photograph.

However, the correct line up is (from left to right):-

Marion Donovan
John White
Linda Keeper
Linda Perriment

It is my older sister, Lesley Anne, who is not in the photograph.

Well spotted!

Regards.

Linda Copeland (nee Keeper)

Hello Henrietta,

Peter Thurgood kindly gave me your website, running through your photos I looked at one of George Bastick and Leslie Herbert, I know both of them well. The Herbert’s lived in our street, St.Peter’s Avenue. George lived on the Hadrian Estate, he also worked for the Herbert’s on thier stall in Bethnal Green Road. Pellicci’s Cafe we would frequently quite often when Terry,Vince and Jeep were alive. Saturday mornings we would congregate outside, including the Kray’s to see what dance hall we were going to go to that evening.-‘Happy days’

These fine photos take me back to my young days in London. I used to live in the Elephant & Castle back in the 1950s, and the photo of the children playing at cowboys and indians with bomb site in the background was just as it was about the Elephant back then.
