That milkman could have used the services of Bass the donkey. And so precarious with all those glass bottles! He must have developed a real feel for how to maneuver that cart.

Can’t be there tonight, but with you in spirit, Steve; have a great evening. Respond very much to the photographs. Oddly enough, for me, many of the people depicted gladden the heart. (I certainly wasn’t part of the swinging sixties either..)

A man named Alf pushed one of those milkmans hand trolleys for Evans Dairy in Ford Street, Bow for most of his life. I met him after the dairy had been knocked down for “progress” and he said that he was working in the park as a gardener and he realised how much better life would have been if he had never met Dave Evans.
Dave Evans retired to Southend when his dairy was knocked down and had only been there for about 5 weeks when he was killed by a car.

Thanks to everyone for the comments made on the Spitalfields Life web site, it would be great to meet anyone who would like to come to the Bishopsgate Institute tomorrow night and discuss my East London photographs.

Great to see these but the one of the homeless children really tears at the heartstrings, I have rarely seen such a moving picture, I hope life was kinder to them from then on.
