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. Fred Millard (b 1918) joined the club in 1932. Here, in conversation with Michelle Johansen of the "Up the Manor" project, he speaks about some of the political differences between the Conservative founders of the club and the people who lived in the Hackney area. He recalls the ethos of the club, and speaks of Sir Edward Cadogan's service as MP for Finchley. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Bishopsgate Institute | Subjects: | Power and Politics London at War | Temporal: | 2007 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
