Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Juniper Street E.1. is a vivid memoir of post‑war life in London’s East End, set among the London Docks, Cable Street, the Highway, Shadwell, and Wapping. Blending social history with personal recollection, Henry Say recreates a world that has almost entirely vanished. Through detailed memories of family life, schooldays, neighbours, and the tight‑knit communities of E.1., this memoir becomes a portrait of the East End during a period of immense change. Say traces the lost architecture of the Docklands — the streets, shops, bomb sites, and buildings that shaped everyday life — with the precision of someone who never stopped mapping the world around him. Lightly illustrated with original line drawings, Juniper Street E.1. offers an authentic account of growing up in the post‑war East End. Part memoir, part London social history, it is a tribute to a place, a time, and a community now largely erased from the map, but vividly preserved in memory.
