How much has changed within these last decades, Spitalfields almost another country seeming to be from another time it lost to us now caught within this moment of its working past by photography as the city has grown up around the ancient district as it has been consumed by the new ness of the ever expanding city of London.
London ever growing and renewing its self as it has done for these last thousands of years.
I’ve loved exploring Philip’s wonderful pictures today. It is fascinating to see how the ’67 shots could almost be of Victorian Spitalfields, some of them. I knew the area slightly in the early ’80s and he has captured the atmosphere I remember then perfectly.
This is crying out for a contemporary ‘then and now’ set!
Thanks Philip and thanks GA
