In 1986 journalist Norma Ashworth returned to New Zealand from Wapping, in London, where she and her English husband had lived for the previous ten years.
She was persuaded by friends that Wapping was as rich a source of history and anecdote as earlier, possibly more glamorous, places of residence had been. She wrote Wapping Tales as a family record and a tribute to her parents and mother-in-law.
All three, in their mid-70s, exchanged lives of settled comfort (in New Zealand and Somerset) to share the family house in London’s ‘foreign’ East End. The tales describe adventures, misunderstandings, eccentricities and friendships that resulted from the residential transplant.
