No, my old man wasn't a dustman, he was a commissionaire for Tate & Lyle in Silvertown, East London. The photo at the beginning of Call the Midwife was taken from the end of Saville Road, just across the railway tracks from the front gate of Tate & Lyle where my Dad was stationed most of his working time.
