The discovery led to the release of the book The East End In Colour, 1960-1980, published by Hoxton Mini Press. Granick lived in the East End until his death in 1980 at the age of 68. His photos bring to life a past that was predominantly documented in black and white. The collection was acquired by Tower Hamlets Local History Library &amp; Archives in the early 1980s.<\/p>\n<p>The Granick collection goes back to the 1950s, including the colour Kodachrome images seen here. Dorley-Brown worked with other archivists to create a selection of about 200 of Granick&#8217;s photos for publication, taking around 10 months. Dorley-Brown said:<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The collection is very comprehensive, I was instantly excited by their sheer quality and beauty, I think this is a very valuable discovery for London&#8217;s photographic history\u2026.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/in-pictures-43141667\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more&#8230;.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The BBC has reported on how a recently discovered photo collection by the late photographer David Granick reveals London&#8217;s East End in colour, including streets in Stepney, Whitechapel and Spitalfields.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18293","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sector-newsblog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18293","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18293"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18293\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18295,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18293\/revisions\/18295"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18293"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18293"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18293"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
