Are you an East Ender?
Do you have a story about your life or times in the East End of London? Do you still live here, or are you an East Ender who’s moved out to Essex, to Australia, to the USA … wherever. Maybe you’ve memories of the Blitz, of the 1950s, the 1960s or later. Maybe you’re trying to trace your roots in the East End. If you have a story to tell, why not share it with us. Email your story to us (don’t worry about the rough edges, we’ll tidy it up for you) and if you’ve got a photo all the better. There’s also a section for those tracing their East End family trees.

My Dad is just about to get a book published he has spent the last 10 years (on and off) writing about growing up in Upton Park through the 50′s
I know a man who is an ex colleague of mine from British Rail, and he has published an amazing and beautiful book called London’s East End Railways Part 1. We all know that Dr Beeching, unchecked, committed many heinous sins against our great public network through the ’60s and 70′s, but being of East End stock himself, Dave Brennand is best placed to tell of what once was from a professional standpoint as a driver. The link below is to a marvelous review of that book, and Dave himself assures me that Part 2, all about the branch lines to the docks is nearing completion:

If you have a hankering for steam, or just like a bit of well thought history, then this is an absolute delight without being too technical, and some of the art in there is breathtaking.
