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. Peter Muncey (b 1933) joined the club in 1937. Here, in conversation with Michelle Johansen of the "Up the Manor" project, he speaks of the club's support for him when he suffered a serious injury when playing football and of the assistance with his studies afterwards. This led directly to courses designed to help boys with their studies, which were a major feature of the club's latter years. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Bishopsgate Institute | Subjects: | Public services Sport | Temporal: | 2007 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
