Urban Fabric: A new project and London lunchtime photos

I’m a man of projects, I’ve got many on the go at once and this photographic adventure started life on Substack, I’m still running it there but of course it earns nothing, hence I’m bringing it over here to my PeakD blog.

What’s it all about?

The intersection of things in our towns and cities. There are many layers, the effects of time and a multitude of changes create a rich tapestry of fascinating architectural history. I like to think of it as being, the “fabric” of the places I discover whilst exploring on foot with my camera/iPhone.

Which communities does this fit in?

Hmm, a few of them potentially! I’ve singled out the following

Architecture, photography lovers, monomad for some posts etc - let me know if you can think of any others, in the comments below.

Maybe this in time would make a good community?

The City of London

The series starts in London, where I often find myself once a fortnight on Tuesdays. Our office is not far away from Fenchurch, Liverpool Street and as such is right next to the financial area of the city where we have the Lloyds building, Gherkin etc. It’s an incredible place, packed with every conceivable layer of history and perfect for this project.

I’d love to gather together a series of older photos if I possibly can to compare with what’s there today, maybe in time this project will serve as a reference point for future historians!!
