About the book

A voice of its own

Cockney has its own distinctive words and turns of phrase. This compact Bradwell collection by Kate Sanderson gathers dialect vocabulary alongside anecdotes and local material, preserving expressions rooted in the area's history and everyday life.

Designed to be dipped into, the book combines an accessible glossary of local speech with stories, sayings and background material. It is as much a small piece of social history as a guide to the language itself.
