East End of London. The voice is clipped and correct… an old fashioned military voice perhaps, receivedpronunciation but with a hint of cockney, the ‘through’ becoming ‘frew’, his ‘Ls’ beoming ‘Ws’. Over decades as a foreign correspondent Louis Heren’s rough Shadwell vowels may havebecome smoothed off, but he never forgot.‘The old East End should have been a wretched place but it wasn’t. People had to live closetogether. Because they had to live close together they had to behave themselves. It was acivilised place.’Heren was being interviewed by the BBC for an early Seventies programme in which East. Enders who’d made good (ie got out) were taken back to the east London of their youth —Lionel Bart was another colourful interviewee.
There was nostalgia and sentiment for sure,but it was hardly misty eyed. Over decades as a foreign correspondent on The Times, Herenhad earned a reputation for speaking truth to power and he was angry about what hadhappened to his childhood playground. By the time Louis went back in the Seventies, the East End as he knew it had all but beendestroyed. He had no doubt who the culprits were. The war smashed those communities. We all lived alongside one another: Irish, Jews, cockneys who’d been here hundreds ofyears.
We might not have liked each other very much at times but by god we got on. Youhad to. How can you get along with each other sitting up in the sky in a flat.
The plannersthink they have a great idea…’Heren was born in Shadwell in 1. His dad worked on the Times as a printer but diedwhen Louis, the youngest of three, was just four years old. He was a typical East End‘mongrel’, he joked, ‘half Irish, half Jewish and half Basque. Watch Second Coming Megavideo. His mum, to make ends meet,ran a coffee shop for dockers at the gates of the docks, ‘a good pull up for car men’ as hewould later call it. Ironically mum had been born in a pub much used by Times journalistsafter the paper (without Heren) moved to Wapping in the Eighties. Shadwell was a slum and the options might have been crime, a ship or the docks, but Louisgot into the local grammar school and an English teacher introduced him to good literatureand gifted him a lifetime taste for reading. Aged 1. 4, he got a job as a messenger at the.
Times in its old Blackfriars building. He would be there for the duration. He was a boy who loved to learn and volunteered for whatever writing and layout chores thatcame up, and by 1. East End to celebrate George VI’s Coronation.
As veteran journalist (and friend) Godfrey. Hodgson pointed out years later ‘most of the reporters in the Times newsroom then wouldprobably not have been able to find Shadwell without a compass’. In 1. 93. 9 he volunteered for the Royal Artillery, serving with distinction in France, Iceland and. Greenland before being made an officer and sent to India.
He was demobbed in 1. The Times as a foreign correspondent. Heren might have been the model of the hard- bitten, clear- eyed British foreigncorrespondent. He first made his mark covering Indian independence in 1. Britain with his graphic eyewitness accounts of massacres in the Punjab. Hewent on to Israel, Beirut, Jordan, Korea, Vietnam, Egypt, Singapore, India, Germany and.
Washington, DC. And he was the first to report to the world the discovery of the Dead Sea. Scrolls. While India correspondent, he heard rumours of a plot to assassinate Gandhi, so hejoined his weaving workshop in order to get a scoop (he failed as the killing happenedelsewhere).
And Heren reported from Vietnam in the early days of American intervention in the 1. Manyjournalists point to him as the likely inspiration for the Thomas Fowler character in thatexcoriating critique of Americans and their foreign policy in Asia, The Quiet American(Graham Greene was a guest of Heren and his wife Patricia on their Singapore houseboatwhile he was researching the book). And Peter Mackay of the Daily Mail even wrote of thephysical resemblance between the older Heren and Michael Caine, who played Fowler in the. In 1. 96. 1 he became Washington correspondent of The Times. He loved America but wasdeeply sceptical of John F Kennedy’s Camelot myth. He offended JFK’s court by writing anarticle, tongue in cheek, comparing Washington, with its affluent white suburbs separatedfrom predominantly black downtown by Rock Creek Park, to a town in British India with itscantonments and its native city.
He got on better with Kennedy’s successor, Lyndon. Johnson, covering the civil rights movement in the South and writing books about USpolitics. He was a foreign correspondent of the old school, like Tom Fowler rarely returning to base,but nowhere held the romance of the old East End. It had been like living in a village, Herensays, ‘only much more interesting’. Everyone worked on the river, the ‘London river’ as thekids called it (nobody called it the Thames). The river dominated their lives.
Most of his pals’dads (and his father’s friends) worked on the river. A strong memory was children cryingbecause dad was away on a tramp steamer for weeks and months.
Heren loved the mix oflanguages and cultures and he loved the romance of those dirty British coasters soundingtheir horns as they sailed off with their cargoes of ‘Tyne coal, road- rails, pig- lead andfirewood.’And where ever he travelled, he had no fear of speaking the truth. Colleagues rememberedhim as a fearsome (though kind) figure. As for politicians — he famously advised that thereporter should always ensure that ‘When a politician tells you something in confidence,always ask yourself “Why is this lying bastard lying to me?”.’Back in London in the Seventies he settled back into The Times, but the old days weredying. He weathered the decades brutal strikes and feeble management and had high hopesfor Rupert Murdoch’s takeover.
But passed over for editor in favour of Harold Evans andthen Charles Douglas- Home, he retired in 1. Hampstead and the life of awriter. By the time Heren was interviewed about his book by the BBC in the early Seventies,the old East End had gone, but it had made him. It might have been tough but it had createdtough kids like Heren, with a headful of happy memories and a burning ambition to dosomething other with their lives. I remember sitting in a science lesson at school and ateacher was talking about the survival of the fittest and he said “By god you kids must betough to survive here!”. Louis_Herenhttp: //www.
