The slum houses are going, the local families are being uprooted and moved either to new flats in the same district or to areas right outside London. But what about the old way of life-the friendly pubs, the street markets, the neighbourliness and solidarity-is all this going too?

' He was not tall-about five feet eight, I suppose; he had a round head with rather prominent blue eyes which could fix you vwith a disconcerting stare, especially if you were a small boy; he had a curious angular jaw, bushy eyebrows, and a heavy moustache which curled over his rather thick lips, so that they could not be seen. The only two direct criticisms of him which I ever heard my mother make were, firstly, that she disliked the liquid way in which he wiped off or squeezed out this moustache after drinking tea and, secondly, that she was discomposed by the enormous noise he made when he sneezed.'
