The modern history of London's East End has been well-documented - but what of its ancient roots? From embryonic beginnings in the Stone Age, through Roman rule and civil wars, all the way to its jam-packed twentieth-century timeline, the East End has always been a place of innovation, diversity and change. Written by an East Ender with a love of her roots, The Little History of the East End is an engaging look at the area's history through the people that made it, one that will enthral and surprise both residents and visitors alike.
DEE GORDON is the author of numerous local history titles about the East End and Essex. She has given lots of talks about local history, writing and the use of the apostrophe! She has also written poetry, for which she has won several prizes. She leads a book group and writing group for carers, and always takes part in Southend and Essex Book Festivals. She lives in Southend, but keeps in touch with her Stepney roots.
