Online resources: Summary: FOUR MEALS FOR FOURPENCE is Grace Foakes's memories of her girlhood in Wapping in the early 1900s. With a child's clear eye, she describes the sights, sounds and smells of the old East End of London: shopping in the market, men waiting for work at the dock gates, the rituals of washday. She also describes the fear - of illness, of unemployment, of the workhouse - that hung over her family and thousands like them, and her determination that her own children would never know the kind of poverty she had experienced.
