Doris Bailey shares stories from her childhood in Bethnal Green from 1922 to 1937. She starts with a recollection of being checked for lice by the school nurse, an instance where she learned the futility of arguing with authority figures. She includes details about her home life, her friends, and her neighbourhood in order to paint a picture of life in the 1920’s East End.
