Once Upon a Time in Brick Lane

One of the lesser-known though nevertheless brilliant members of British photography Paul Trevor has an impressive collection of documentary photos of this iconic corner of London. Brick Lane is, perhaps, one of the most photographed streets in the East End, yet these elegant black and whites taken in the 70s, 80s and 90s capture a lost era full of surprise, joy and humanity. This is street photography in the very best tradition of Cartier Bresson.
