Growing up in the 70's and early 80's, on a council estate wasn't always easy! A real mix of emotion, hardship and laughter.
Life on the Estate is based on a true story of growing up on a tough council estate, on the outskirts of London. Born in 1970, life was tough from the start, but with family grit and laughter alongside the experiences of life at difficult times including murder, intrigue and death. The story flows through the years, with many highlights from both personal and generic experiences - remembering key events for the country, fashions and tv/film, the story resonates with experiences for all to remember! Covering mainly 1977 - 1985, the changes to our country over that period, and the experiences of the family, this is a true reflection of living in that time. With retro being a key part of us now again, it was great to reflect on our history and to bring it back to life. Nostalgia here we come! I hope you enjoy it!
