Run Down Flats - A Glimpse into the Social Issues of 1970s East London
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, captured by Angela Deane-Drummond in March 1975, takes us back to a time when Matilda House in St Katherine's, Stepney, East London stood as a haunting symbol of poverty and neglect. The image portrays an occupied ground floor flat amidst an otherwise deserted building. The absence of people within the frame emphasizes the desolation that once plagued this area. The worn-out flooring and dilapidated walls tell tales of struggle and hardship endured by its inhabitants. As we gaze upon the scene, it becomes evident that these run-down flats were not just bricks and mortar; they were homes where dreams had been shattered. In stark contrast to the bustling city life outside, this portrait washing line stands still against a backdrop of social issues prevalent during that era. Clothesline after clothesline filled with garments signifies both resilience and despair - individuals striving for normalcy despite their circumstances. Angela Deane-Drummond's skillful use of photography adds depth to this archival piece. It transports us back in time while highlighting the enduring nature of poverty across generations. As we contemplate this poignant photograph from Fine Art Storehouse, let it serve as a reminder that behind every neglected facade lies untold stories waiting to be heard – stories that shed light on societal challenges faced then and now.
