Palmer, Alan, 1926-2022, author.

The East End : four centuries of London life / Alan Palmer.

London : J. Murray, 1989.

xiii, 197 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations ; 25 cm

This study examines the evolution of the Tower Hamlets - Bethnal Green, Poplar, Hackney and Stepney - and sifts through the facts relating to an area notorious for its violent crime, political unrest and poverty. Palmer argues that the area is a microcosm of the tensions apparent in British society as a whole, derived from the impact of the Industrial Revolution, the age of the railway, the two World Wars and the current invasion of the young rich.
