About this deal

The oldest part of the Queen Elizabeth Children’s Hospital in Goldsmith’s Row is slated for demolition.

This seafaring tradition in Sunderland can also be seen in the buildings at the bottom of the churchyard, in Trafalgar Square. Both Old Sunderland and Bishopwearmouth had almshouses for aged seamen. In Bishopwearmouth, these were located beyond St Michael’s church in the street that still bears the name Maritime Terrace. For more information, see here. In Old Sunderland, the almshouses were built in 1840 and form a neat square called after the famous sea battle of 21 st October, 1805. A lifespan of 30 years would be a remarkable enough milestone for any television drama, but even more remarkable is the way that the series originated. Over the centuries, the East End has always been a bit of a crime hot spot. Its position on the outskirts of the city, its often overcrowded population and its poor and relatively deprived conditions compared to the rest of London often made this one of the least safe areas to visit and live in the capital East End Gangsters He ends with a reflection on anti-Semitism today and how, sadly, such a lot seems not to have changed – indeed, how it seems to be on the rise. Then exactly 40 years to the day of my first game, I launched a literary fanzine called PUSH that I sold at West Ham v West Brom in March 2013 and it is still going (up to issue 20 as I write).The Jewish Maternity Hospital in Underwood Rd was designed by John Myers in 1911. This Arts & Crafts style cottage with its elegant crow-stepped gables was reminiscent of a streetscape by Vermeer and, athough it had lost its diamond-paned leaded windows, it retained its original doors and ironwork. Our mother Winnie Davis, was born in Sans Street in 1927 (one of 10 children). She had 6 children of her own. and as well as being a caring and loving mother, she found the time and energy to improve the lives of people in her local community (Hendon and the East End of Sunderland). She is the sole face of the community on a board made up primarily of business leaders and local politicians. Most importantly, we shall be suggesting ways that you can get involved and proposing how we can become organised to make an effective response to the current crisis. If the future of the East End is important to you, you need to be there.

Someone who knows all about the history and all the previous grounds of Thames Ironworks/West Ham United, is a mate of mine, John MacCrea. He was born and bred a stone’s throw from all the grounds the club played at before the move up the Barking Road in 1904 to The Boleyn Ground. I asked him, is the move a good thing? West Ham Reserves lost 0-3, but I just loved sitting in the West Stand Upper and studying the ground; there was nothing on the pitch to hold my attention!

First memories

There are so many memories of the place, even though the ground has gone through many changes. The North Bank, until the early 60s, was an open terrace and the West Stand wasn’t extended until the middle of the same decade. George Cornell was born in the East End of London and grew up as a close friend of the Krays. Although he worked the East End for some years, he is best known for his enforcer role when he moved to South London. He joined up with a rival ‘family’ to the Krays, the Richardsons rather than working for Ronnie and Reggie’s firm. If you can stand great acting by all concerned and not having every move explained to you as if you are slow witted, then this warm and meaningful show is for you.

His childhood relationship with Ronnie and Reggie Kray meant that he was often used as a go-between between the two families when they clashed or wanted to iron out territorial problems. The fact that he had left the area and joined up with a rival gang didn’t endear him to the twins, however, and it was his death that finally put Ronnie Kray behind bars. The Blind Beggar Pub, Whitechapel.

Mourning pre-match rituals

Yoel, a one-time member of the East End’s Brady Boys Club, has lived in Israel since 1973. He has written other books with specific East Endthemes. When I was pregnant I said to myself I need to do something otherwise I would be just another single parent, on benefits and doing nothing.

As a result, York Square and the streets off it, much of Salmon Lane, Whitehorse Road, Bromley Street, Aston Street, Belgrave St and Chudleigh St still exist as do the Alms Houses on Stepney High Street. While the BBC was keen not to be too London-centric, Smith and Holland ran with it: a community based around a Victorian square of terraced houses with an old pub on the corner. Holland himself had East End roots – he had had an aunt called Lou from Walthamstow. Lou had married a man called Albert Beale, and they had two children, Peter and Pauline. In her mid-20s she joined a course called Steps, which built up her confidence and introduced her to a lot of community-minded people. Fortunes have always been hiding, and as West Ham fans, trust me, we seriously have looked everywhere. But maybe fortunes were always there right on our doorstep. Ready and waiting in another east London stadium. The so-called Jew Law was designed to enable people to become English by naturalisation without having to swear that they were taking their oath of allegiance “on the true faith of a Christian”.

TRENDING

Upbeat” might not be the first adjective one would use to describe a series that has regularly featured murder, rape, drug addiction, prostitution, paedophilia, gang warfare and domestic violence. On the other hand, for many millions of viewers, this garish mix has made EastEnders the compelling delinquent of British drama for the past 30 years. On 19 February, the series will mark its anniversary with a week of live episodes focusing on the mystery of who killed Ian Beale’s daughter Lucy. Some of the arguments used are seen today used against all immigrants: the stealing of jobs, the destruction of businesses run by native-born Englishmen – it is all horribly familiar. Like Heartbeat, this wonderful bit of nostalgia is certain to entertain those who don't require gun play, gratuitous sex and overacting to keep them enthralled. This is truly a warm cup of cocoa on a quiet evening. Simon Inglis, a well-respected expert and author on British football grounds, recently wrote an article in the long running football fanzine, When Saturday Comes, about our move to the Olympic Stadium. He titled the article Mind The Gap, and opined that West Ham fans would not enjoy the move, declaring only doom and gloom ahead. But anyone who has watched their football from the East Stand for the past 14 years will tell you: we already know all about the gap. First memories
