Ellingfort Road in
Hackney is largely inhabited by artists. By 1994 the street was
threatened by Hackney Council who wished to replace houses with
industrial units. Artist, Tom Hunter, himself a resident, made
'The Ghetto' to document the community and to present the residents
in a way that countered the Council's dismissal of them as social
undesirables. The houses have subsequently been reprieved and
are being refurbished.
