Osborn Street memories sought

Details

I was wondering if anyone could help me. I am looking for information on what the East End of London, mainly Whitechapel or Osborn Street, was like from 1900 to about 1969 and what is it like today.

I had family that lived and worked on Osborn Street during that timeframe.
