Blimey the Krays lived in Valence Road

Really enjoy this. I moved to this area in 1994. I worked at the Royal London Hospital when I first qualified as a doctor in 1995 and all three of my children were born there. It was a good area to live in then but I had to move for career reasons to Glasgow.

This is a very informative and fantastic video! Thank you for uploading it!

Lived in Stepney all my life.. this is so cool to see 👌🏻

I live in Buckinghamshire now ,but the one thing I am proud of is being born in Stepney Green .

Lived in Stepney as a small child , from about 1962 - 1968 , St Paul’s way in a pre-fab house.

Was aged 9, admitted to the London Jewish hospital in February 1962. Spent months very I'll. The good staff and care I received lives with me still. I remember the names of the nursing staff. How disappointing to hear its been pulled down. We lived a few minutes away in Copley street.

Just enjoyed learning about that time snd the community .

I used to go to school with two brother's who hailed from Stepney, John and Tony Gold who I fell out of contact with as the years lengthened, my daughter's mother's family all hail from Bethnal Green, Stepney and Hoxton part of the once huge Hanmore family of which my daughter's maternal grandfather was one of 13 siblings (and two doors down from Lenny McLean) living in the equivalent of a tiny two up two down O.o I think my daughters great grandfather was a proper Stepney lad, all the siblings born in Bethnal Green and the kiddies hospital in Hackney if a bed was available then I think they moved south of the water when the old slums and tenements were being levelled.

Born and bred in Stepney and still here

I lived in Stepney until 1970 then moved to Bow until 1977. Moved out of London completely then. I would still go back to King John Street even as it was then, I loved it. Not the same now. Only 2 people I know still live in the area. I lived around the corner, literally, from the Jewish Hospital. I spent four days there in 1964 when I fractured a bone in my arm. It was Passover so certain things I couldn’t eat. At 11 years old and not jewish there wasn’t much I liked. I would eat them now but as a child…. It brought many happy memories flooding back from when I lived there,

Really enjoyed watching this ❤️

Interesting piece of history. It would be better to rename the video 'Jewish history in Stepney'.

Why. In a hundred years we won’t be discussing Muslim history in stepney. Unless that is indeed the subject. Try to be sensitive to others way of seeing the world brother.

@@Jhossack The video more or less talks about the Jewish people migration to Stepney and how they lived there. I found it fascinating to learn about Jewish community, considering I live in Stepney myself. So why not rename the video as 'Jewish history in Stepney or Jews living in Stepney. It would draw more attention to learn about this specific group of people. Why do you interpret this as me trying to be offensive and insulting towards Jewish people. Doesn't make sense. Please don't assume the worst in people just because someone mention certain groups of people. That's a miseducation on your part. My religion teaches me to respect and be peace with all humanity.

This makes me sad. A great country, handed over to people who won’t fight for their own. We will be condemned by future historians.

That accent has long gone ,it’s a myth.It’s a mixture of Jaficain and MLE,Bangladeshi or white middle class.cockneys moved out of the area on mass years ago,mainly to Essex or the other Home Counties.Only small pockets of traditional” cockneys “ mainly working class residents who cannot afford to move out or elderly who simply to frail to leave.The American romantic “ chirpy cockney “ is long gone.

Very interesting regarding the efforts of the Jewish people to open a hospital..

Hi Daniel, thank you for your comment. The date in brackets was a reference to the year the documentary was made, however we have now edited it to make that clearer.

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?
