Hackney Memories

The 1930s were a troubled era, and England at this time was a land of contrasts.

In Hackney Memories Alan Wilson gives us a vivid impression of growing up in a working-class family in the East End at this time.

Trapped by poverty, his family lived in a world that seems very alien to us now: here it is vividly recalled, set against a backdrop of rapidly developing national events.

Alan Wilson's informative text, together with a selection of well-chosen photographs, will make fascinating reading for anyone who remembers the interwar years, and anyone interested in London's social history.
