“There’s definitely a link between being born in Aldgate and taking all these pictures on the tube,” admitted photographer Bob Mazzer, “You don’t think you are starting a project, but one day you look back over your recent pictures and there are a dozen connected images, and you realise it is the beginning of a project – and then you fall in love with it.”

It's like time travel on the Underground - well worth a look

Thanks for posting these, Chris. The 3 images here are wonderful but the whole set on the link is fabulous.

What was Jack White doing playing Aldgate Tube Station?!

What a fabulous find Chris. Thanks. I love the shot with young lad and his 'camera'! And overall I like the engagement he has achieved in so many of them.

“I love taking photographs of people on the tube,” he admitted to me, “I say to them, ‘You look fantastic, can I take your picture?’ and they say, ‘Yes.’”

Good find Chris I enjoyed looking at them very much. Definitely another era that is lost to us. Not sure whether it was actually better than now but London just does not seem like the place I used to know. Maybe its because I'm getting older and not lived there for quite some time, but maybe its because I'm a Londoner that I lov.......................................
