Yes Keith
those were the days, I used to go in old gal Shaws get a 1d drink, made up of a wee bit of flavouring, water and a squirt of gas from an oxegen bottle, thats the first fizzy drink I knew, she also used to sell toffee, broken up with a tiny hammer, there was a real community way back then. Tower Hamlets also had an hospital, the old fever hospital, later the eye hospital, as well as Stwert the shoe repairer there was another, can't remember name, on the corner of Lowther Road, you could go round the Chapel in Towere Street and sit and watch the magic lantern Shows, we had it all
