‘Street Of The Cobbled Cobblers’

I took some close up shots of these shoes but I think the context with the street works better.

Shoes dangling from power lines – according to myth, maybe reality – signify a gang’s territory, drug spot, or memorialise someone’s passing. In this corner of East London it could also be an art display that snowballed.

While I was there some guys with a camera were filming me taking pictures of the shoes. It felt a bit meta so I moved on.
