A selection of 20 photographs drawn from Paul Trevor’s Eastender Archive documenting life in the East End during the 1970s, 80s and into the 90s. At the time Trevor’s neighbourhood, Brick Lane, was desperately run down. “Much of it was derelict. It felt abandoned,” he says. “Yet from this unlikely location I was gifted a vivid story of a community surviving considerable hardship with resilience, humour and hope - none more so than the kids.”
