An honest depiction of Spitalfields and its environs during the 60s and 70s. The war had ravaged and hollowed out the area but tucked away in corners there were the vestiges of community going about its business. Thank you GE.

I remember all the characters and hey they are endemic in my blood and in my mind .

It is these same characters that are within my poems that Chris Searle and to a certain extent Ron McCormick helped publish within my book “Story of a Stepney boy “.

I never thought I would become one of these characters but I have . I search for them and feel at home when I meet them in real life .

Thank you again Gentle Author for helping to tell members of my family and my story and by doing this help others relate to their own .
