About the Book
This is a revised edition of the book originally published in 2008, with additional images. Images from "Rotherhithe Photographs" were first published in the legendary "Creative Camera" magazine in 1975, when the project ran as a cover and major portfolio, described as "a report from someone who is unquestionably one of the major talents among British photographers". Unseen for many years, the photographs are a personal documentation of the south London docklands, a cut-off, self-sufficient, largely working-class society; seen between the closure of the docks which had been the area's raison d'etre, and the consumerist redevelopment of the later Thatcher years.
