About the Talk
A Somers Town Girl brings to life the world of my mum, Edna, and the vibrant, close-knit community of Somers Town.
Through stories, photographs, and lived memories, the talk explores hop-picking families, women’s work, childhood adventures, and the humour that carried people through challenging times.

“I bought the book and it’s brilliant — I couldn’t put it down and read it in one day. It brought back so many memories. I lived the other side of Euston Station but went to Somers Town quite a bit. I remember the wet fish shop in Church Way — his live eels were always getting out of the box and ending up on the floor! Good days and happy memories.”
This is just one example of the many heartfelt responses from readers and audience members who recognise their own stories in the book.
