Chris Dorley Brown is a self-taught documentary photographer based in Stratford, East London. His cultural education was formed in East London in the late 1970s, against a backdrop of highly polarized political conflict and change. The photographs presented in this book - over 100 - were taken between 1984 and 2023. The journey through the book is like taking a stroll: starting on the banks of the Thames, we discover the vernacular architecture of the 1980s; their demolition a few years later; followed by more recent architecture. We witness the transformations brought about by construction for the Olympic Games; then, the deserted streets during lockdown; ending on the banks of the Thames, almost at its mouth. One-offs, here and there, intersperse these main themes.
