About this listen
When he built two shacks to see greengrocery and knitting wool to housewives in Holloway, all Bernard Lewis wanted was to make a decent living.
The Lewises were ordinary Londoners: loyal, hard-working, their lives touched by the greatest shifts and darkest hours of the twentieth century. But they were ready to bet everything on their will to succeed.
This is the story of how four brothers built a retail chain from the post-war rubble and rose to become self-effacing kinds of the rag trade, capturing the swinging spirit of London and helping to transform Israel over seven tireless decades of quietly astounding family business
