The East End is one of the most famous parts of London and it has had its own distinctive identity since the district was first settled in medieval times.

In a series of information-filled chapters, he explores East End industries and employment the docks, warehouses, factories, markets and shops. He looks at its historic poverty and describes how it gained a reputation for criminality, partly because of notorious criminals like Jack the Ripper and the Krays. This dark side to the history contrasts with the liveliness of the East End entertainments and the strong social bonds of the immigrants who made their home there Huguenots, Jews, Bangladeshis and many others.Throughout the book details are given of the records that researchers can consult in order to delve into the history for themselves online sites, archives, libraries, books and museums.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
John Coulter, Paul Howard Lang and Lindsay Siviter, have, as always, been very generous with the loan of pictures to use in this book. In addition, Lindsay has lent books and maps to help with the books content. Several people have read the books text to point out any errors and omissions, these being Malcolm Barr-Hamilton, archivist at Tower Hamlets Archives, and two family historians, Caroline Lang and John Gauss; however any remaining ones are the authors sole responsibility. I would also like to extend my thanks to the staff at Tower Hamlets Archives and at the London Metropolitan Archives for having provided numerous documents and other material which have been used to illustrate the text of this book.
This book is dedicated to Malcolm and the team at Tower Hamlets Local History Library & Archives.
INTRODUCTION
I n the popular mind and in the media, the East End conjures up a number of images. First, since 1985 there has been the television soap opera, East Enders, set in the contemporary East End, and in more recent years, the highly popular Sunday night viewing, Call the Midwife , which was set in Poplar and was initially based on the memoirs of a midwife who worked there from the 1950s. Secondly there is crime, whether it is the alleged glamour of the Kray gangsters of the 1960s or the horror and the mystery of the Whitechapel serial killer of 1888, known only as Jack the Ripper. Others may recall the Blitz which had an undue impact on the East End and in which the defiant spirit of London was shown at its authentic best. Political historians will recall the Battle of Cable Street of 1936 where the police fought with anti-Fascists. There is also the repute of the East End as being where the worst scenes of nineteenth-century poverty were experienced. The East End is thus known as an entity more than most other parts of London.
