Good to see that his work is in the Tate’s collection as well as Autograph ABP.

I have never seen anything quite like them. What a blessing that some of the photographer’s archive were saved.

Its a great pity that only a fragment of the photos were saved, they were very interesting and captured an aspect of London life that most of were are not aware of . Tex definitely had talent. Had he been alive now I am sure his work would have been displayed in the major galleries

I hope someone else scooped up another bag of photos in 1994 and that those gems will come to light.

Thanks for the introduction to ‘Tex.’

I grew up in the Black Country in the 60s and 70s and while there was indeed (as there tragically still is) racism and discord, there was also friendship, love and respect, that isn’t always shown.

“He gave them their pride and I like that.” This is a theme among all the wonderful photographers who recorded East End life and highlighted by the GA and so true in this case.

Thank you Victoria, so much, for saving these. I hope more can be found.
