Café Royal Books
Café Royal Books publishes weekly booklets of photographers’ work documenting places, communities, and culture. Two editions including my photography are now available for purchase: The Velvet Underground, New York 1965–66 and Play Space, North Kensington 1967–1969.
North Kensington Playspaces
We opened 8 temporary playgrounds in North Kensington where I lived during the summers of 1967-1969 when the need was critical. I think all the children that used the play spaces we created will long remember those summers.
Westway Scheme
Our North Kensington Playspace Group became the Motorway Development Trust, and we campaigned for the entire 23-acre, mile-long site to be used for community facilities.
