I worked behind the bar in the George pub in 1979. It was a small bar on Berry Street. These photographs were taken around midnight. I am reminded of the vast quantities of alcohol that was consumed by the regular customers featured in these images!

Since this photograph was taken from a roof top in Hanbury Street the sky line has changed dramatically with the growth of the City.

I photographed this man at different times in the 1980’s in and around Brick Lane.

He would find an empty box to sit on to observe the world around him.

Here he has a clear view of Brick Lane as the clear up begins following the Sunday market.

Deep in thought

The man sitting waiting for the bus appears to be deep in thought in contrast to the other passenger who is growing impatient waiting for the number 8 bus.

Studying racing form and placing a bet appears to require a great deal of consideration judging from the body language of this punter.

I would speculate that these two punters are waiting for a result. I wonder what thoughts cross their minds during this difficult period of uncertainty?
