The woman keeping traditional London alive through a Pie & Mash shop: Jacqueline, Londoner

It’s hard to find a more typical, traditional ‘London’ meal than Pie and Mash. Jacqueline and her family run the beautifully preserved, art deco, Manze’s Pie and Mash shop in Walthamstow. This is a shop with a long tradition and to Jacqueline it represents her passion for keeping traditional London alive and keeping the community together. And nothing can bring people together like Pie and Mash. 1000 LONDONERS This film is part of 1000 Londoners, a five-year digital project which aims to create a digital portrait of a city through 1000 of the people who identify themselves with it. The profile contains a 3 minute film that gives an insight into the life of the Londoner, as well as their personal photos of London and some answers to crucial questions about their views on London life. Over the course of the project we aim to reveal as many facets of the capital as possible, seeing city life from 1000 points of view. www.1000londoners.com    / 1000londoners   www.facebook.com/1000londoners Twitter: @1000_londoners 1000 Londoners is produced by South London based film production company and social enterprise, Chocolate Films.

There was a lady that carried on after Mr and Mrs Manze named Millie and then my father took over from her and she retired. Now obviously it's changed and then the area went very down. But I think from what I hear, and from the last year it's got a lot better and things have started to pick up. Well I think the shop has a strong place in the community simply because one it has a passion to the people in this area because they love pie and mash and also because of the the interior of it, because it's all traditional and it's original and everything. Once you know it was just a pie shop and now we get all walks of life coming into the shop. Since I can remember back I think London's changing all the time. You know, you have different cultures coming and going. They come into London and then they move away and it's changing all the time. My feeling about the area and buildings changing - I feel quite strongly about that actually. Mainly because of the shop and because of what it means to me. You'd be stupid to change anything that's like this because there's not many places in London that have been kept. There's lots of buildings have been pulled down and could have been restored and would add character to the area. Anything I could possibly do to to help the area or help the shop I will.
