Makes me think of the singers in the 60s like Dusty, Cilla, etc.

My Grandparents lived in no 5 Nelson Gardens, along with a uncle at No 15. My parents married at St Peters Church featured behind in the lorry. Film made there in the 1950s Sercret Hiding Place. Lots of us kids got small parts in it, still shows up on a web site, we all look so scruffy and poor looking. Be Well, England.

An endemic quality that many people in the East End had.
We had to . In order to survive .

I think the Gentle Author and Henrietta have done us proud .
A round of applause to both of them .
