Good points / bad points:
I bought this book a while ago, could never forced myself to read it. I used to live in Barking and wanted to get to know this town more. I was mostly focused on the street I was living on at the time, due to the historical house I was living in. Recdntu, I decided to read it and I got really into it. I learnt so much about Barking. And about the local community, about things I had seen on a daily basis, about my secondary school. Great historical book, and well researched.
