The biggest community in Tower Hamlets is Bangladeshi (from Syhlet). Then it's Somalians then a mixture of others. Most of the Afro Carribeans moved out ages ago. In Newham it's majority Pakistani and Bangladeshi and a small mixture of others. Barking is now like a mini Africa I remember the News International strike. I lived in Wapping opposite the River Police station. Was there until December 2014 when I decided to join my brother who moved to Germany in 1979 and worked as a carpenter.. Roman Road, Whitechapel, Chrisp Street markets are nothing like they used to be. Spitalfields market is good, very upmarket now. All very different now to when this film was made.
A very interesting programme.Pretty much all of the characters have interesting stories to tell and the imagery is super.The singing of Oranges and Lemons by soprano Una Barry is truly fantastic. 10/10 and the piano accompaniment was also brilliant.I would love to have a full audio copy of this singing performance, but have so far struggled to find it. There should be more programmes like this. I can immerse myself into this sort of thing - Lovely!
4:46 YES! We need to do better by our children....that’s all of us...worldwide. We spend so much time looking OUTward. Blaming each other. Hating each other regardless of never having met the very people we vilify. First, nurture and cherish your children. They’ll learn to love because you were their first example. Or...they’ll learn to hate people that are different because they’ve learned it from you. All of this hatred and discord is just exhausting and counterproductive.
Superb. An excellent look of those living in the East End.
Excellent videos. Thanks so much for sharing them. ✌🏼🌎
