Description
Pie and Mash Down the Roman Road: A History of an East End Institution By Melanie McGrath For nearly a century, G Kelly's Pie and Mash has been a constant presence on London's Roman Road in Bow. This iconic shop has seen generations come and go, yet it remains a testament to the enduring spirit of the East End. Through the stories of its customers, suppliers, employees, and owners, this book brings to life the history of a community that has thrived around one of Britain's oldest trading routes. From the social and economic changes that have shaped the area, to the people who have made it their home, Pie and Mash Down the Roman Road is a fascinating exploration of the heart of the East End. This is a story about the power of tradition and community, set against the backdrop of one of London's most vibrant and diverse neighborhoods.
