I’m not a big non fiction fan, but I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed Jean Fullerton’s touching and nostalgic memoir. I have read and also enjoyed a couple of her fictional books. Although I don’t come from the East End of London and I’m a little younger than the author, it was like a trip down memory lane and I could relate to some of the events and traditions. It’s an honest, warts and all account of life growing up during the 1950s, 60s and 70s. Written in an easy to read style, it made me smile as well as a little tearful. A truly inspiring life story.

Welcome to the East End. Life in Cockney London was tough in the post-war years. The government's broken promises had led to a chronic housing shortage, rampant crime and families living in squalor. But one thing prevailed - the unbeatable spirit of the East End, a tight-knit community who pulled through the dark times with humour and heart. Drawing on both family history and her own memories of growing up in the 1950s and '60s, as well as her working life as a district nurse and local police officer, Jean Fullerton vividly depicts this fascinating part of London - from tin baths, to jellied eels, to tigers in a Wapping warehouse.
