Description: | These men were skilled workers in the tailoring trade. Textiles work was increasingly hard to come by during the 1950s and 1960s in the East End, despite its being a long established and once thriving industry led by the local Jewish population.
The availability of cheap ready-to-wear clothes produced by factories elsewhere in London reduced the prospects of the many tailors living in the East End. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | �� Henry Grant Collection/Museum of London | Subjects: | work Communities Cityscape | Temporal: | 1953 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
