Описание: One of the longstanding north Tottenham businesses which will be displaced or perhaps forced to close by Haringey Council's social cleansing plans. Drawings by Lucinda Rogers A couple of photos from outside don't tell you much. So I strongly recommend drawings by the artist Lucinda Rogers, who drew directly from life, spending up to six hours in each of several businesses in North East Tottenham, in their workshops, etc. These are businesses which are being displaced by what Haringey Council describes as its "regeneration" of this and other areas. Lucinda's exhibition of her work included a showing on 30 June 2015 in an empty room in Tottenham. I took some photos which, frankly, were pretty bad. Luckily there are some reproductions on the wonderful Spitalfield's Life website. Here's the link to the Spitalfields Life webpage in June 2015 headed Lucinda Rogers in Tottenham. It reproduces some illustrations of Lucinda's Tottenham drawings Also telling us that: "Contributing Artist Lucinda Rogers draws on location, making her atmospheric detailed pictures with ink, crayon and watercolour, to capture the drama of workplaces and record these parts of London that are seldom seen except by those who are employed there." She has accumulated a portfolio of large bravura drawings – from which these pictures are selected – recording the workshops, yards and factories of the trading, repair and small manufacturing companies in Peacock Estate, White Hart Lane, Tottenham, currently threatened by redevelopment as part of Haringey Council’s programme of 'restructuring the borough’s employment land portfolio'. Just as in the East End, these plans put active businesses at risk and jeopardise local jobs for the sake of high-density housing developments – a short-sighted policy that has been summarised as, 'London is eating itself'."
