Gary Haines, East Ender, historian, once volunteer with Tower
Hamlets Archives and now Archivist of the Whitechapel Gallery, has
compiled this fascinating collection of over 200 archive
photographs looking at the changes that have taken place in Bethnal
Green from the late nineteenth century to the present day. The
images chronicle eras of hardship and extremity like that of the
Second World War, and times of peace and prosperity. Altogether
they combine to create a very special record of an area that has
experienced great change over the years, yet has always retained
its famous character. Bethnal Green provides a valuable account for
the long-time resident, and brings the history of the area and its
people alive for the interested newcomer.
