This fascinating selection of photographs illustrates the
extraordinary transformation that has taken place in the
East End during the 20th century. The book offers an
insight into the daily lives and living conditions of
local people and gives the reader glimpses and details of
familiar places during this century of unprecedented
change. Many aspects of the East End's recent history are
covered, famous occasions and individuals are remembered
and the impact of national and international events is
witnessed. The book provides a striking account of the
changes that have so altered the East End's appearance
and records the process of transformation. Drawing on
detailed local knowledge of the community, and
illustrated with a wealth of black-and-white photographs,
this book recalls what the East End has lost in terms of
buildings, traditions and ways of life. It also
acknowledges the regeneration that has taken place and
celebrates the character and energy of local people as
they move through the first years of this new century.
