Coronation Party in Trinity Street

Coronation Party in Trinity Street

This photo shows three of my aunts, Violet aged 11, Winnie aged 14 and Doris Taylor aged 17 of No.2 Trinity Street and Mrs Abbott a neighbour and family friend.   It was the 12th May 1937 and Trinity Street in Canning Town held a large street party for the coronation of King George VI.  The front of every house was decorated and bunting and flags were stretched across the road all the way down the street.
