The Batteries Charged picture is in Lauriston Rd. Lovely photo. I remember the chap who owned the shop. It’s now a pottery.

Stunning photos of a London I never saw first hand. Would love to find more of Columbia Road and surrounding streets.

Blank bashed torn ripped battered rotted rusted nailed screwed abandoned jagged bent holed beaten bloody but never destroyed in our eager eagle eye for tactile surface that spoke of the inner ferment
so loudly & will never leave the senses. Thank you JC.
* The Printers in the Roman Road with the original facade is the last man standing of all that. The original owner is still behind that counter too. Old inky fingers has gone digital but he can still make the newspaper ‘forage cap ‘ that used to be seen crammed into Ted’s Cafe bottom of Back Hill Clerkenwell.

Composition as brilliant as we have come to expect over the years from JC
. . . photographed typography images in tune with the times and a welcome relief
from the banality of the internet and Photoshop!!!

John, you have captured, recorded so much with magnificience of the London I grew up in. More than just beautiful, poignant, visual images. I can feel, touch, even smell them. The docks, Sally army, Smithfield etc. Thankyou. Can I expect to see Covent Garden?
I agree that Bj enriched the lives of all of us fortunate enough to have worked with him.
But feel your eyes were already ‘open’.
