My grandparents had a shop in Fieldgate Street. My mother was born there above the shop. Her grandfather was a "chosen" (cantor) in Fieldgate Street Shul.

Why does the narrator keep saying “Dock Laaaynds”?

This could have been a lot better if you hadn't added those awful noises all the time.

I'd be more inclined to think it's just a doctored cockney version of (Isle of docks)

It's nice to know London isn't flooding any worse now than it did nearly a thousand years ago.

Absolutely love it. Orlando, Florida thanks you!

I'm from Brooklyn, NY if not for the accent It feels like home.

If this was filmed in the late 1980s then much of what was left of the old Jewish Eastend was pretty much coming to an end. Bloom's lasted until 1996. Like all generations, outward migration meant that most of the population had moved away by the time this film was made. Cycle of life....

Lovely film, I worked at Queen Mary for 17 years and this brought back many memories of its better fays

Very nice although I recall Mr. Greenberg remarking to a fellow thespian, " What you are I wouldn't eat!"

Well done Dr Ullah.

Lived in Stepney as a small child , from about 1962 - 1968 , St Paul’s way in a pre-fab house.

Fascinating. Brilliant. They ought to show this documentary in UK schools.👏👌❤️💯percent.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

My Booba & Zaida Silver were caterers at Weddings at the La Boheme in the years before the second World War. In later years she catered my brother’s and my Barmitzvah assisted by my late father the great Solly Vishnick.

My dad was a bell hanger for the Whitechapel Bell Foundry, and during school holidays I also worked there, it was a great place the East end and I seem to remember opposite the foundry on the other side of Whitechapel Road was a street that i think mayhave been called Blacklion yard I had to go in the shops as i was the errand boy, often called to get lunches etc. I remember the jewish shops etc and the notion that all Jews are rich was a fallacy, these were EastEnd working class Jews. I lived in South Tottenham very closed to Stamford Hill and iconic Jewish area but rather more well heeled and very orthodox, you could buy salt beef sandwiches which were ro die for and of cause the local football team Tottenham were nicknamed the Yiddos, arch enemy of Arsenal known as the gooners.

No English people left now.

Excellent

Fast forward to 2024 Jews are not feeling safe again and planning to flee UK due to Islamists and left wing hatred and intimidation

Multiculturalism and diversity = no longer an English city RIP London England - You were once a great English city

Worst ever decision made to give up the docks! It totally destroyed our community and it also gave up our little bit of independence regarding trade. Historical buildings that survived the war were pulled down and soulless concrete jungle put up but the actual people who originated from the area was forced out! My family was from that area and can be traced back nearly 300 years so far. We were forced out 20 years ago by an illegal land grab by the council. Tower Hamlets Council is the most corrupt council you will ever know and reminds me of the King in Mile End shown is this video backing out of the deal! Bless my Nan she was one of the last to go surrounded by bulldozers taking on the builders with her Yorkshire terrier. Everyday they took her garden a foot at a time and the whole family would turn up to support with the East London Advertiser in tow. I wish I wasn't to young to realise what was at stake.

It's wild how these proxys since +/-1880s 1920s 1960s 2020s work as global socialist orders rage all the nation's push complexity down upon the people turning neighbors against each other. I was blessed to know 1st hand direct testimony of the first freed slaves black and white Irish who claimed land on a homestead act 350 hectors beside each other in usa and they grew up together through all these until passing in late 1970s. Share cropping together and didn't socislize until they was about 50 years old. I was a kid and sat under them as they canned tomatoes, sewed quilts and talked about how our own allys like uk ,france, German, Spain usa gov all proxy one another turning neighbors against each other agitating the youth. Pushing complexity down to break up like mined vote blocks forming through faith or just kids just getting to close to one another fearful of a wise generation to thr tricks of the politacal trade. Hearing both sides telling me the same account of history then going to school under a revision view from a more fringe extreme was very enlightening on how the majority is ignored but micro scope is put on a very few political front. .. 2020 usa a 1st class window seat Begin the day holding hands Marching end it defending your home or business from getting burned down . The news camera takes that picture ,runs that headline . Same moement proxy fighting each other. The politicians gets justifying bill to impose physical prescription grabs more power the divide deepens. Same story over and over across all borders

The police play very active part in empowering racists and some cases they walk n hand hand with racists. I remember gangs plane cloth police beating up Bangladesh youths in Cable street. Racists had a free hand, you could say a licence to attack with weapons, petrol bomb s homes, attack us at schools, work places, anywhere and anytime. The term Paki bashing still echoes on the east end. The police are still at it, and so are neo cons in Labour party.

Born in vallance rd 61 lived and grew up there until the mid nineties drive thru there sometimes now sad to see what its become 😔

La Boheme i been in there when it was a nightclub Benji's lol

Tower block's were the worst buildings ever conceived of and built on this planet in this century. They are Hell on earth even today. They changed the name from Towers to Apartments. A dog by any other name, is still a dog. 🌈

Most people don't understand why the Jewish people receive so much negative press. I believe they have done a wrong to a people by taking over their country and expelling the people that was in 1948. In 2023 they are at it again. Whatever good feeling their was for the Jews after WW2 it's gone now. Truth has to triumph. At the moment the planet in bathing in liars.

Pumping stations were not only about supplying water you know.. They were part of a hydro power network.

Remembered? But it's still there

Absolutely brilliant 👍

Really enjoy this. I moved to this area in 1994. I worked at the Royal London Hospital when I first qualified as a doctor in 1995 and all three of my children were born there. It was a good area to live in then but I had to move for career reasons to Glasgow.

I miss old bermondsey and the docks

Muzel tov 👍

My dad taught at Raine's Foundation from 1947 to 1977.

This makes me sad. A great country, handed over to people who won’t fight for their own. We will be condemned by future historians.

think they used some spare gold they had lying around to pay for most of it

Who cares? There’s plenty to worry about all around us,,,,,

My dad went through this in Shadwell area.

Fascinating.

I come from poplar but lived in stewart Street in the 80s for year's there's no communities there long gone most people that live on the I.O.D don't even come from East London.

I am a true stepney by blood name and origin my father his father his father his father and his father were all stepneys

i was born in 1983. I lived near west india dock road for 15 years best years of my life as a kid i saw the development of canary wharf. i think they finnished the building around 1990 the early part of development and still carries on today.

The visuals are bad.

So much change, so fascinating lives once lived, wish we could go back to pre industrial times, i lived on island for few years, grandad from Millwall, windmills

The centre at Beaumont Grove at the end of the video closed earlier this year.

I was brought up in Stepney, early years a large Jewish presence, later years Bangladesh. East End people were finally pushed out
