Description: | Harry Landsman (b 1916) grew up in Spitalfields in the 1920s. Here, in conversation with Stefan Dickers of Bishopsgate Institute, he recalls the shops in the area when he was young. In particular, he recalls "sausage and mash" shops, which sold their wares for around 1/6d. Such shops were widespread in the East End at this time, although the prices they charged meant that many people could not afford to eat there often. Mr Landsman then goes on to describe Gardiner's Corner department store, which was located in Aldgate East. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Bishopsgate Institute | Subjects: | Leisure | Temporal: | 2007 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
