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. Terry "Tosher" Bell (b 1943) joined the club in 1957. Here, in conversation with Lynda Pearce of the "Up the Manor" project, he recalls the process of joining the club. Applicants had to attend an interview and undergo a month's probation, during which they had to take part in a certain number of activities. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Bishopsgate Institute | Subjects: | Leisure Sport | Temporal: | 2008 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
