David Hoffman, from the series 'Parfett Street Evictions' 1973
‘Myrdle and Parfett streets (Whitechapel, London E1) were abandoned. Empty shells of buildings sheltered the most desperate homeless, mostly alcoholics, crazed by drinking meths and surgical spirit.
Tumbledown, leaky old houses made for easy squats or cheap rents and began to attract impoverished students, artists, political activists and young Bangladeshi men working in the rag trade. Slowly a younger population emerged. Life started to return to the streets'' - David Hoffman
