Click image for details

Between 1973 and 1980 the empty warehouses of Butler's Wharf became London's largest post-war artists colony. Occupants included the film maker Derek Jarman, and sculptor Andrew Logan. The colony ended abruptly around 1980 when the warehouses were sold to property developers. Stephen Cripps was a legendary pyrotechnic sculptor who occupied space in Butler's Wharf, next door to Michael Heindorff.
