Alma, the main protagonist, was injured during the Blitz in East London when half her house fell on top of the air-raid shelter also killing her father and her sister. That experience coloured the rest of her life. Alma and the family moved to Poplar ('Call the Midwife' country) in 1947. By 1951, they'd been re-housed to a Council House in Grundy Street where they stayed until 1981. East end life was important to them, but Alma always had aspirations to move back to Hornchurch in Essex and the surrounding areas where most of her family lived. George, Alma's husband, was born and bred in Poplar in the East End - a true Cockney. His attitude was, 'I'll leave the East End feet first!'
