Here are some photos from Irene's early life

Stepney


Petticoat Lane Market is just round the corner from where Irene was born...
...in White's Row London E1)


Here is 2-4 White's Row-the area has been gentrified!
Irene was born in Flat 2a (Top, rear)
Apparently she cried so loudly that they were going to call her Tempest!

Dagenham


Irene lived near Dagenham Heathway as a child...
...at 5 Pettits Place-the house on the left.
As part of a large family, she had an unhappy childhood due to an abusive father.
