Second to last picture must be Hackney Road looking west with Ye Old Axe in the background.

Congratulations on your late husband’s work Libby Hall, you must be very proud.

coming down.
They moved into a newly built house, in a small road of new built council houses
in Enfield,the first for years.
She said it took 20 minutes to walk to thier house talking to her neighbours, I
said it sounds just like the old days.
Lets hope its a sign of times.

He was a brilliant photographer who captured the essence of working class life. Thanks to Libby I have a wonderful print he made in support of the miners strike. I remember the Roman Road branch library; no doubt if Tony was alive he would be angry at the way libraries are being closed every month in the UK. I look forward to seeing more from Tony’s archive. Many thanks to TGA for publishing these iconic photographs.
