  • About Queenspark Books About This Book
    About QueenSpark Books QueenSpark Books was founded in 1972 as part of a campaign to save the historic Royal Spa in Brighton's Queen's Park from being converted to a casino. The campaign was successful and it inspired participants to start collecting memories of people living in Brighton and Hove to preserve for future generations. QueenSpark Books is now the longest-running organisation of its kind in the UK. More than one hundred books later, as part of our 45th anniversary celebrations, we are making the original texts of many of our out-of-print books available for the first time in many years. We thank you for choosing this book, and if you can make a donation to QueenSpark Books, please click on the “donate” button on the book page on our website. This book remains the copyright of QueenSpark Books, so if reproducing any part of it, please ensure you credit QueenSpark Books as publisher. About this book We’re Not All Rothschilds! Is based around a series of interviews conducted by Leila ​ Abrahams in Brighton and Hove in 1994. The book explores the lives of ordinary working people linked by their Jewish faith. There are fascinating accounts of running Beall’s Cork Shop in Gardner Street, memories of long-gone Brighton shops and discussions around the contributors’ relationship to their faith, and to Brighton and Hove. You’ll also find background information on the growth of Jewish communities in the city. Some of the terms you will read here reflect the language of the era in which the book was first published, but to keep faithful to the original text, they have been left in and not st amended for a 21 ​ century readership.
