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. Francis Carnwath (b 1940) first became involved with the club in 1962 through his employment at Barings Bank, where Arthur Villiers, the pre-eminent figure in the club, had also worked. Here, in conversation with Michelle Johansen of the "Up the Manor" project, he talks about his perceptions of Villiers. |
