How London has changed

[Mr-C]

Excellent

A collection of photographs taken almost 40 years apart show how London’s streets have changed. In 1973, civil servant John Hutchinson photographed areas in London which were under threat of redevelopment. He feared the Victorian buildings that had survived the Blitz would be lost forever, so he set out to photograph them for posterity.

Up until the early 70’s there was a huge amount of coal burned in London, both domestic and industrial. The sulphur-dioxide produced made all the brick and stonework go brown and black. As a child I remember London being black and remember all the work in the 70’s and 80s sand blasting everything back to the original colour.
