Tales of Hardship, Love and Happiness in Tate & Lyle’s East End Factories. On an autumn day in 1944, Ethel Alleyne walked the short distance from her house to Tate & Lyle’s refinery on the shining curve of the Thames. Looking up at the giant gates, Ethel felt like she had been preparing for this moment all her life.

Focuses on the lives of several young women who all worked at a London sugar factory in the 1940’s and follows them through their lives. Even though there is loss and distress, especially during the war years, this is generally a feel-good book. Highly recommend.

Heroes or villains? You decide.... In the 1960s, London’s gangland was ruled by two men: Reggie and Ronnie Kray. Building an empire of crime by intimidation, extortion, and terror on a scale never seen before or since, they feted stars of stage and screen, sportsmen, and even politicians to gain the respectability they craved. Read by acclaimed actor Martin Shaw, this is the true story of their rise and fall.

Excellent non-fiction

This is better than fiction! Gives bare necessities of background and concentrates on their “professional” career and how they were finally imprisoned for good at the age of only 34.
