35mm | Old & New
August 1, 2022This apartment building looks like it has seen better days.
This is where I played as a boy.
People still live here.
You cannot ignore the derelict condition.
Across the road is a new vision.
It looks like a different part of London - a more affluent setting for urban living.
The contrast is quite spectacular.
It has a feeling of gentrification about it.
I suspect the old building will be demolished in time to come, it is inevitable. It is the only building standing from 35 years ago.
This is what I see every morning.
An urban landscape so different from my childhood.
Everything changes, nothing stays the same.
Thanks for reading
