Photography — 1950-1959
Wapping High Street
Wapping High Street. Two men are leaving or entering a building. In the background is Gun Wharves, converted into luxury flats during the Docklands redevelopment of the 1980s.
Sandra Flett was a semi professional photographer who lived in Chiswick and photographed the river extensively. She could see the Thames from her house and writes ‘We have lived near the river for years and it has become part of the background of our lives’. For her, the river was a ‘geographical backbone’ linking together the disparate parts of London.
