RE: Hatman! My Time Travelling Adventures (Part 10) East London, 1917 - Great Great Grandma's famous fruitcake... and an unexpected visitor...
I love this characterisation. It was real enough to me - I used to live in that area and you took me back. Thanks.
Yes, it was different in those days at the turn of the twentieth century. I remember it well... the yellow coal smog, the back to back slums, the unlit streets and open sewers of East London... happy times indeed..! I would go there now if I could, just for a slice of great great grandma Esther's legendary fruitcake. But alas! I am stranded in 2047 now, with no way back.
