The Romance of Bethnal Green

by Cathy Ross

Designer: Tracy Wellman

Photographs by Peter Marshall

Bethnal Green in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries was something of a social laboratory, a place where ideas were tested and otherness observed. Chapters look at Bethnal Green’s role in developments around national museums, English craftsmen and working-class communities. 

Illustrations include  views of Bethnal Green taken in the 1980s and 1990s by acclaimed London documentary photographer Peter Marshall
