Description: | Eton Manor Boys' Club was founded in 1909 by a group of Old Etonians for the boys living in the impoverished area of Hackney Wick. It was renowned for the quality and variety of the facilities it offered in the areas of sport, art, amateur dramatics, music, and other activities. Leslie "Butch" Reid (b 1924) joined the club in 1938. Here, in conversation with Lynda Pearce of the "Up the Manor" project, he touches on the camaraderie between former club-members, even between those who were criminals and those who were police officers, and on the flavour of the local area. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Bishopsgate Institute | Subjects: | work Public services | Temporal: | 2008 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
