The Banjo, Book
Two by Elaine Spires
The
1970s. Zany fashions brought the Decade That Taste Forgot. Change is
in the air. Decimal currency; the Common Market; widespread strikes;
the Winter of Discontent; IRA bombings; the sale of Council houses
and quickie divorces make their mark on the whole country including
the community of the Banjo. The eight households who live in Cromwell
Close experience births, deaths, marriages, shocks and surprises but
as the 70s become the 80s and beyond Dagenham undergoes great
transformation. The once close-knit Community is changing.
