Self-taught artist John Allin made his mark within what is today considered the Folk/Outsider Art movement in Britain, adopting a naive style and drawing on memories of his East End childhood to capture a fast-disappearing era. This work shows a traditional working men's cafe with high-backed wooden booths, large tea and coffee urns, a 'chips-with-everything' menu and walls adorned with posters of East End boxing champions.
