Drawing on his unique archive of photographs taken fifty years ago, Neil reveals more unseen images in parallel with those he has taken over the past two years. His images are powerful narratives that delve deep into the human experience, offering a raw, unfiltered look at the struggles, joys, and  resilience of the people of Hackney. He reveals, in often surprising ways,  the profound changes that have taken place over half a century, and what remains.  

Neil will be signing his latest book: Purim in HackneyKingsland Road, Hackney, 1973 and the first street theatre arrived to the bewilderment of locals.
