Emz says: Chris Dorley Brown’s A History of the East End contains photography from 1984 to the present of London’s East End. He captures the lifespans of tower blocks, from construction to demolition, and Hackney wastelands unimaginable to the post-Olympics spectator. One of the most striking compositions in the book is a 1988 photograph from inside The German Hospital in Dalston, where Marx had his appendix removed, above a photograph from the same angle of the same room which has been renovated into a luxury studio apartment.
