NOWHERE STREET

This is a story about a young boy, brought home from the countryside of Cirencester, to the grey slums of Whitechapel, in London’s East-End. It tells of one year in the boy’s life, around the age of fifteen, back in the mid-to-late 1950’s, describing this time as he fights to get through life. It tells of Prostitutes and Pimps, of the ‘Dives’ around Aldgate at that time and the life within an Approved School, of the fights and bullying which went on as Housemasters turned a blind eye. To a degree, this book is part of the social history of the East-End and is based loosely on my life. Ron S King.
