LEYTONSTONE EX-SERVICEMEN’S CLUB

Documentation of an evening at the Ex-Servicemens Club in Leytonstone, East London, established in 1922 and still thriving. The photo-essay focuses on the fabric and ephemera of the club and its members. The photographs are exhibited in frames sourced from second-hand shops from the area.

The work forms part of a co-curated exhibition of community engaged project by photography collective Image 17 at The Old Glass Factory in Wathamstow, East London, 2009. Fourteen Photographers took part, documenting thirty local hobby and leisure groups ranging from the familiar to the highly unusual, celebrating the diversity of characters and activities within the London Borough of Waltham Forest.
