The Hackney and Newham History Social Club

Victoria’s plan is going well. Raju finds that developing photographs is not cheap. And we’re back with Charmaine who remembers early days with Wenty Newland in Whitechapel, Hackney and beyond. Bianca is on hand with more information on Hessel Street and the family business, Wentys Tropical Foods.

Bandele ‘Tex’ Ajetunmobi’s first ever exhibition opens. Raju Vaidyanathan is there to see it. Raju was born and bred on Brick Lane. He got his first camera in 1983. As we go back to the 1950s, Sixties, ‘70s and ‘80s, love and hate bring communities together. This is the best and worst of us.

“East London photos from an East Londoner” notes Raju, as Victoria continues to make plans. Raju sees faces he recognises in Tex’s photographs. We meet Phyllis and Charmaine Tomlinson remembering days in Mount Terrace, E1. A tea factory, branch of Woolworths and dance parties were part of life before Phyllis moved to Hackney and Charmaine made it to Newham.
