Clara Grant, the “Bundle Woman of Bow” (1867-1949) was a primary school teacher in the East End of London. Her
“farthing bundles” were “surprise packets of odd trifl es” distributed to her poorer and younger pupils for more than
25 tears. They were made up of “tiny toys of wood, or tin, whole or broken, little balls, doll-less heads or head-less
dolls, whistles, shells, beads, reels, marbles, fancy boxes, decorated pill boxes, scraps of patchwork, odds and ends of
silk or wool, coloured paper for dressing up, cigarette cards and scraps.” The bundles continued to be sold until 1984,
her school, the infants’ school in Devon road, became the Clara Grant Primary school in 1993, and her Fern Street
Settlement is still a centre for local communities.
