Local & East End History

	The East End - by Alan Palmer With a foreword by Peter Ackroyd. For centuries the East End has been synonymous with poverty and sweated labour, with Cockney solidarity and popular protest. The poverty is still there but now, once again, East London is beginning to reshape itself. Alan Palmer takes us back through four centuries of life in this great melting pot which was once the very centre of Empire trade. People as well as goods have flowed in and out of it, from the Huguenot weavers of the 17th century to the Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis of today. Its story is one of extremes - of small deprived streets and great Hawksmoor churches, of great social campaigners like George Lansbury and out-and-out criminals like the Krays. This book seeks to capture the spirit of the East End and its people, of those who have left their mark on it and those whose lives were marked by it for ever.
	London's East End - by Jane Cox From the riverside and docks where pirates were hanged, to the monasteries and slums east of the Tower, the East End presents a rich tapestry of English history. This text recreates life in the East End over the last five centuries with anecdotes, folk tales, diary excerpts and illustrations.
	The Wit & Wisdom of Tony Banks - by Iain Dale A humorous and sometimes insightful look into the mind of our local MP (and Forest Gate resident). It tells of his political rise, his outspokenness and his passion for Chelsea F.C.
