James work with her we'll have to wait
and see
we're now going to that's an
area in the east of London along the
River where boats used to come in
and the last century and the
first half of this century the area was
very busy there were lots of ships
coming in and lots of work for the
people who lived there but things
changed in the 1950s and 60s
closed and industries moved out then in
the 1980s there was another great change
new buildings went up in and
new companies moved in a man who has
seen many of these changes is Ward
who works as a in
let's hear what thinks of the
changes to the area the kind of people
and the the jobs that they used to do in
the in the last century
we're all relevant to itself
and the industries which were joined to
it today of course the people are
completely different and there are a lot
of professional people now
skilled doctors lawyers all
of these people don't really fit into
of the or the tone of the
they the kind of people who would
have a town house and they would want to
get away to the country that way for the
countryside a lot of the flats and
houses that have been purchased in the
well at the weekends they're empty
you don't see them they're only used
during the week when the people are
working therefore they don't really
constitute a community because at the
weekend when the social life used to be
its most active now it tends and
go quiet and the new
estates and areas the deserted at
weekends and you've got nothing anymore
in fact it's like well what
we're looking at now is it a section of
which used to be one of
the busiest the world
here in the
before us there used to be the
MacDougall's which was
world-famous and to that supplied
loads of used to come in to
wear key is now and they used
themselves around and go
along to the whether used to
all their a brain that in
turn was put into storage and
used to call the money when they needed
it also further along here was where the
used to come and that is
why where we are standing now is called
timber well now we have a whole
new estate which is partly
owned and partly council estate which is
called timber Wars this has only been in
existence five years of the most it's
only now beginning to fill up completely
with people of families when
was really
many years ago and they they used to
have whole estates and roads and streets
of houses which are all or
related industries all the people lived
there they had a very close-knit
community spirit and they certainly used
to make all their own entertainment an
awful lot of it and they used to
organize trips you know days down to the
and things like that it would
all be done and they used to be social
clubs which certain used to have
their own social club
whether it had dances on Saturday nights
and various parties for the children
special treats and things you'll still
find in some of the old streets where
that youth the used to live many
years ago in those old cottages you find
a better spirit of community than you do
in modern flats
it doesn't seem to have a soul anymore
just straight brick-and-mortar and
that's it it's lost its spirit hmm
Docklands looks like an interesting
place I think I'll go there on Saturday
good idea well that's all for now
so David yes we first
really well hardly ever
okay you can first
thank you do you get it
no after you no no please
goodbye
