This is one image from a new series inspired by my explorations of the Lea Valley, which runs along the banks of the River Lee, from Ware in Hertfordshire, through Essex and north east London, past the 2012 Olympic site to the Thames at Limehouse Basin. The lower Lea Valley is a particularly interesting area where nature seemingly thrives in the city, where tenacious wildlife lives amongst the detritus of modern life and plants ceaselessly reclaim land by growing through cracks in concrete and clinging to walls. The Lea Valley can claim centuries of fascinating history as well as the invention of the diode valve, Yardley's soap and India Pale Ale. Matchbox cars were made here until the 1980s. Bryant and May had a match-making factory in Newham, which was the site of the landmark matchgirls strike in 1888. The Monorail was invented in Lea in 1821. Carless, Capel and Leonard started making a product they named petrol in Hackney Wick in 1892. The Lea is where the first British commercially successful porcelain, Bow China, was produced and AV Roe became the first Briton to pilot an entirely British-built aircraft on Walthamstow Marsh in 1909. In 2005 Paul Kelly made a film in conjunction with British pop group Saint Etienne called 'What Have You Done Today, Mervyn Day'? which focused on the history and landscape of the Lower Lea Valley. It was made in the year that London won the Olympic bid, which ultimately changed what was a surreal wilderness into an area suitable for international visitors.

Looking east from above Hackney Wick. This is taken from the Greater London Plan 1944 which I just acquired (Crown copyright, so reproducible now after 50+ years). No date is given, though I imagine this shot may date from the 1930s. The legend says: ' Stratford. Road, rail and canal feeding, but also strangling an industrial area.' Not any more, everything as far as the terraced housing in the background is now part of the Olympics site, and the last industrial vestiges have almost gone. The old housing, meanwhile, has largely been supplanted by the postwar Carpenters Road Estate.
The best restaurants, cafes, pubs and bars.
canal-side arts venue, bar and restaurant is a perfect match for Hackney Wick
First edition of Archaeology in Reverse by Stephen Gill (2007) First impression Medium format hardback in new condition Published by Nobody Books About Continuing to photograph where his award-winning book Hackney Wick left off, Stephen Gill has made Archaeology in Reverse in his cherished area in East London. Still making pictures with the camera he bought at Hackney Wick market for 50p, this time he focuses on things that do not yet exist. This magnificently produced book features traces and clues of things to come in a poetic, sometimes eerie and quiet photographic study of a place in a state of limbo prior to the rapid transformation that this area faces during the build-up to the Olympics in 2012.

I have always always been fascinated by Hackney Wick. The area has a real energy that exists amongst its Victorian industrial buildings. It lay almost derelict for many years, with the exception of a few small local businesses and artists but over the last few years there has been an explosion of activity with people living on the canal, new housing and bars catering for an influx of young people. I wanted to try to capture the gritty, urban feel of this place, its industrial heritage and the River Lee, which provided the life blood for this area. I have built the image up in many layers of watercolour which I feel accentuates the grimy feel of the area. Its not a traditional subject for watercolour but I love using the paint in this way and love the effect that is created by multiple translucent layers.
