This contains a pair of lifts, drying rooms now redundant and empty, and a boiler room at the top to provide heating to the whole building. This feature is, according to one person I spoke to, erratically effective, with some rooms overheated and others left cold.

On my visit, the plan that emerged was a lift to the top (the 24th floor), visit a few artists, then make my way down the stairs to see what was occurring on the other levels.

One of the artists in residence has a photographic exhibit of flats after the previous residents have moved out, some of whom feel that they are being evicted in order that the area can be gentrified as is the case with so many traditional working-class areas of inner London

With a bit of light flooding in, maybe it doesn't look so bad

An example showing how decayed the building is appearing these days. This will no doubt be jazzed up with LED lights and the concrete covered over for the nouveau riche who will be appearing in a couple of years.

Not my idea for a title - suggested by the artist in residence in this flat. Afraid I can't remember the name at all, but I do remember having to justify my 10-second appraisal of his sound & light installation in one of the rooms.

Some of Kathryn's work was displayed in the apartment and a group of us had a bit of a natter. She even offered coffee.

Now this, I think, is in the apartment used by Kathryn Maple. It's Flat 78, I believe, which would place it on the 12th floor. She is one of the few who is principally a painter. Unfortunately, Ipernity's low profile means that it is unlikely that she (or anyone else from Bow Arts) will come along to confirm the correct details.

An electrical fitting of some sort on the stairs seems to have shorted out

These run at every 3rd floor on the east side of the building. Why only every 3rd floor? Well, the flats are arranged such that some are on a single floor, while others have internal stairs either up or down. We were able to see examples of each.

Getting up close to the filthy windows. I love the effect and I'm glad the picture has come out as I remember it.
