Andy Baker Posted 6 December , 2006 Share Posted 6 December , 2006 I think there is quite a bit of information in the book The East End Then and Now published by Plaistow Press who used to be based in West Ham, but have now moved to Suffolk I think, if you google After the battle you should find their website Regards Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
