British photographer Paul Trevor has released a collection of black and white street images taken in the East End during the 70s and 80s.
In his new photography book, Once Upon a Time in Brick Lane, he captures the gritty and fun side of the iconic area before it underwent significant social change.
Alan Gilbey writes in the book's introduction: "Looking at Paul’s photographs, you can see all the special, fleeting, human moments... With the flick of a shutter, at the perfect time, these people live again. Even in monochrome, there is so much life."
