| Introduction | James (Jimmy) O'Shea was my uncle, born on 24th December, 1926 in Lambeth to Philip and Elizabeth O'Shea (nee Rapley). A few years before Jimmy died on 25th August, 2004, he emphatically stressed to me the importance of writing our memories down for future generations. "People MUST write their memories down, otherwise it will all be forgotten" he said. As I am getting older, I am realising that soon there will be no-one left to ask about Lambeth in the Fifties - about the poverty - the unwavering spirit of the people - the way the women of that era ALWAYS managed to put a good meal on the table, made from the cheapest cuts of meat they could find and there was always "afters" - usually tinned fruit and evaporated milk if we were lucky. They were memorable times and I would like to dedicate this site to Jimmy by writing my own memories and inviting people to post their memories on this blog. I am particularly interested in the area around Lambeth Walk. |
