East Enders Afield
A while back I met up with Cleve author of Tales of a London Poacher a memoir which includes some excellent tales of his childhood shooting over the marshes and water treatment beds in London's east end. I'm hoping to meet up with some of the chaps in the photo in the next few weeks to learn a bit more about their adventures back in the day.
In the meantime you can see some video of Cleve, read my review of his book HERE

Those were the days. Do you remember liquorice sherbets at thru’pence from the corner shop?
For me it was always sherbet lemons

Hopefully the chaps are having a reunion where a few yarns will be spun, which I'll be attending to record for posterity
