Product Description The photographs in this book capture the gritty reality of life in East London during the Swinging Sixties. As the images graphically illustrate, the pop revolution and the early stirrings of flower power had little discernible impact on the workingclass Cockney. East Enders were preoccupied with other concerns: widespread poverty, poor housing, industrial unrest and racial tension.The area proved fertile ground for newsgatherers, among them Steve Lewis, destined to become a distinguished national newspaper photographer. In the 1960s, he covered the manor for the local press and picture agencies. On quiet days, Lewis focused on the disappearing vignettes of street life: the milkman straining under the weight of his Edwardian handcart; the ragandbone man plodding the streets with his horsedrawn wagon; the bicycleborne totter with sign proclaiming: Complete Homes Purchased. Many of the locations in which Lewis worked have changed beyond recognition. Tower blocks supplanted swathes of Blitzscarred terraces; docklands was recast as the capitals alternative commercial hub. Now the site of the 2012 Olympics offers new vistas.As the old fabric of the East End was consigned to memory, so were many of its traditions. Here is a glimpse of the way it was About the Author Steve Lewis was a professional photographer who has worked on numerous newspapers from local press to the Sun.
