Comments on: Tony Bock’s East Enders https://spitalfieldslife.com/2022/04/15/tony-bocks-east-enders-x/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Mon, 18 Apr 2022 12:17:08 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Tony Bock https://spitalfieldslife.com/2022/04/15/tony-bocks-east-enders-x/#comment-1457077 Mon, 18 Apr 2022 12:17:08 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=191309#comment-1457077 To those who pointed out that the photo of West Ham supporters was not taken at Upton Park, they are quite correct. This was the crowd at the FA cup semi final at Villa Park, West Ham vs Ipswich.

And as for wanting to purchase these photos, I notice that, if you click on one of the photos, you’ll find the name of the book featuring these photos, plus Tony Bocks’s address, email address and even phone number 🙂

He went to Upton Park regularly and says that photo wasn’t taken there.

Why isn’t this being published in a book portraying those East End times?
Surely publication in Spitalfields Life books would also complement the work of Colin O’Brien and John Claridge?

I married in ‘75 and looking at the ladies having a knees up they would probably only been in their late fifties/sixties and had been twenty odd at the end of the war. Now there is hardly anybody alive who worked or fought in the war. I’m feeling old.
Sorry.
Easter greetings to all.

I was born in Bethnal Green and grew up in the 60s.
Those scenes and people look so familiar to me.
Yet, sadly it also feels so long ago.
A different world.
But thanks for sharing these photos.
