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. Patrick Smith (b 1932) joined the club in 1946. Here, in conversation with Stefan Dickers of Bishopsgate Institute, he recalls the assistance given to him by some of the organisers of the club in finding him a job in the City and in renting him a flat. Such assistance was given to many of the club's members over the years. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Bishopsgate Institute | Subjects: | work Home and Family | Temporal: | 2007 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
