关于金丝雀码头开发之前的伦敦港区的一份罕见文献资料。迈克·西伯恩(Mike Seaborne)在80年代初开始拍摄《犬之岛》时,他突然意识到,尽管撒切尔夫人的统治造成了很多影响,但这个地方保留了自己传统的工业特色。他的黑白照片展示了一处荒凉得有点怪异的景观,如今这里已成为金融巨头和金丝雀码头等宏伟的摩天大楼的所在地。它们展示了在资金流入之前东伦敦的一个现在几乎无法辨认的区域。
A rare documentation of London's docklands at a time just before Canary Wharf's development. When Mike Seaborne began photographing the Isle of Dogs in the early '80s he was struck by how it retained its traditional industrial character, despite the effects of Thatcher's reign. His black-and-white photographs reveal an eerily desolate landscape now home to financial heavyweights and epic skyscrapers like Canary Wharf. They show an area of East London now almost beyond recognition, just before the money moved in.
