520 Born in 1911 into a close-knit family, Mary Rebecca
Chambers spent her formative years in the heart of the
East End, in a truly multicultural community. This vivid
account of life is told with passion and humor and is full
of stories of the special community atmosphere that was
London’s East End through two world wars and the Great
Depression. Mary was a natural storyteller and this is a
compilation of her heart-warming stories, arranged in
chronological order, to tell the tale of life as she
witnessed it, through adversity and danger, excitement and
fun. The captivating anecdotes, poignant and entertaining,
are suffused by the sights, sounds, and smells of the East
End in the first half of the twentieth century. This is a
wonderful evocation of a bygone age and her affectionate
memoirs will entrance anyone who reads them.
