    The East End in Colour 1960-1980

    By David Granick, Hoxton Mini Press, £16.95, 128 pages, hardback, ISBN 978-1-910566312

In 2017, photographer Chris Dorley-Brown was browsing Tower Hamlets Local History Library & Archives, when he stumbled across a collection of slides taken by local photographer David Granick. These small, cardboard-mounted pictures feature the East End post-war, and consist of street scenes mostly devoid of people. Shot on Kodachrome 64, they have cool, muted colours.

This book and accompanying exhibition (at Tower Hamlets Local History Library & Archives until 5 May) are the result. ★★★★★
