Our Street written by Gilda O'Neill performed by Carole Boyd on CD (Unabridged)

Can Gilda tell us yet more about the East End? Yes she can! OUR STREET focuses on the oral testimony of East Londoners as it tells their funny, sad, hopeful, and sometimes shocking stories of what it was like to live in the East End during the Blitz.

Our Street - a place both physical and metaphorical - describes the security and the claustrophobia of living in a tight knit community of working people made up of extended family networks, life-long friends, and neighbours who knew you by name.

This is an affectionate record of an often fondly remembered, more communal, way of life that has for too many people in our increasingly isolated, change-obsessed twenty first century, all but disappeared.
