Wonderful photos of a time gone by! These people would give you there last ha’penny even though they didn’t have a lot themselves! The likes of such people will sadly never be seen again x

Hard lives, but well lived. People were stoic and uncomplaining, they just got on with it. My late dad was from a big poor family and used to say you were dealt a hand of cards in life and you had to learn how to play with them. When I’ve had difficult times financially or otherwise I’ve always thought of that.

Much more optimism about in these lovely photos than the last batch you shew. Can’t beat an old biddy showing her knickers off in the street!
Heart warming stuff.

These photos encapsulate some of the best memories I have of growing up in Whitechapel and walking to the surrounding areas .
