'Hackney Archive: Work and Life 1971-1985', 120pp, cloth spine, 156mm x 196mm. Photography and text by Neil Martinson.
Book 7 in the series 'Vintage Britain'
East London in the 70s was raw and vivid: bombed-out houses, kids playing in the streets, factories abuzz with workers. These images take us on a journey through workshops, street markets and council homes to capture a time and place before technology and gentrification changed local lives forever.
Neil Martinson started taking photographs while still at school in Hackney. It satisfied his sense of curiosity and he hoped it would change the world. He has worked as a freelance photographer and taught photography. He remains curious, is still trying to change the world and spends a lot of time in the mountains.

You may be surprised, but London is one of the world's most sustainable cities. We've got zero-waste bars, carbon neutral gyms and even ethical enchiladas. But that doesn't make it easy to sort the green from the green-washed. If you want to enjoy the city while reducing your impact, this opinionated guide will show you where to go to live the good life.
Emmy Watts is a Yorkshire-born writer specialising in fun things to do in London with kids. She lives in Camden with her own two children, who she's attempting to raise as sustainably as possible (though that's easier said than done given their shared aversion to vegetables and penchant for pink plastic).
Charlotte Schreiber is a German fashion and editorial photographer based in Hamburg and London.
