Manny still has the youthful look he had in the Swinging Sixties. I often feel very humbled by the gratitude shown by the children of immigrant families who worked hard to better themselves. Manny has led an interesting life and it was great he was able to buy out Hartnell.

Another wonderful record of an interesting person, like so many, if not all..lives lived, adventures and events..really a superb thing you do GA. Thank you.
He sure does have a great smile in that photo with the pretty blonde and the tray of food hiding what?

What a fabulous read .. so many of our Jewish relatives came from the East End.

My father was Ronald Brown (z’l), all round Jewish sportsman winning the C B Fry cup 3 times, and his father was Young Jonny Brown (z’l), a fairly successful boxer in the late 1920s.

My Dad’s parents were from Hessel St, and Dad was brought up in Leyton, on the Lea Bridge Road .. an optician by profession.

In the 1980s, my fond memory of the East End was Connie Shacks, serving fish on Greatorex St, E1.

Not only did I thoroughly enjoy reading this, but Manny looks incredible at the age of 92!
