Window on Brick Lane

Title
Window on Brick Lane
Description
Named for their location in the basement of St George’s Town Hall in Cable Street, The Basement Writers was formed in 1973 by teacher Chris Searle. Sally Flood, who was then nearly 50, was one of a few older writers who joined the group. A factory embroidery machinist and prolific poet, Sally described her verse as being like a diary. This is exemplified by this pamphlet, in which it is noted that most of her work was written “at the factory, from her seat with its window facing Brick Lane”. The illustrations in this pamphlet are by Patricia Flood.
