London’s East End has been transformed beyond recognition over the past decade. As capital has flooded in, many residents have been left feeling displaced and alienated, says photographer Chris Dorley-Brown. Combining pieces from the 1980s with recent images, his work tells a poignant story: of the final days of Dagenham’s Ford plant, the demolition of blighted tower blocks and the divisive Olympic regeneration project. These elements combine, he says, to illustrate the debris of post-war, post-industrial attitudes.
