LEIGH, MARTHA - Memories of Wapping 1900-1960: Couldn't Afford the Eels: 'Couldn't Afford the Eeels'plum edge 2 copies garage, The History Press. 2008. (ISBN: 9780752447094). Paperback. Condition good. Whilst working as a Gp in Wapping for twenty years, Martha Leigh became fascinated in the first-hand memories from people who had lived and worked in the area between the First and Second World Wars. As well as recreating a view of working-class life in an enclosed community during the period, the book covers the decline of the docks, family life, work, housing and leisure as well as tackling more esoteric subjects such as health, gender roles and attitudes towards Jews. This heart-warming read will bring both smiles and tears to its readers and provide a well-documented nostalgic record of Wapping's past. Used: Acceptable.
