This project was a response to the accumulation of photos taken in Deptford SE London over seventeen years. The area has a rich history going back to Elizabethan docks, historical churches and visitors such as Christopher Marlow, Peter the great and John Evelyn the originator of the modern garden.
An A4 book with twenty pages, the first 100 print run in 2019 was for a local charity supporting street people with mental health needs, consequently being reprinted twice due to the popularity of the content. The social history aspect is a crucial aspect of the book, with a short pithy and valid description of each page to be coloured in, and how local people have a deep sense of ownership.
Images were edited in Adobe Photoshop CS6 and layout created using Indesign.
