It is the rich and absorbing chronicle of life in East End London, of three generations of Wheelwrights and the world that they knew. Theirs was the world of Steadman Street, a place of constant drama. Nothing could be kept secret on Steadman Street. When a fight exploded from the pub to the pavement, everyone was kept awake. When a child screamed in sickness or a woman in childbirth, the neighbors had to hear. When there was a funeral, everyone stood silent at the door.
