Object history

In 2010, photographer Colin O'Brien exhibited a collection of images at Chats Palace, an arts centre and theatre in Hackney. The exhibition showed photographs of people and the shops they worked at, owned or visited on Chatsworth Road.

O'Brien documented the changing shops and communities on Chatsworth Road - as well as Hackney in general - during his expansive career as a photographer.

The exhibition ran from 8th October to 27th November 2010.
The pharmacy featured in the photo is Regal Pharmacy which opened on Chatsworth Road in 1989 and then moved to a different shopfront in 1998. It is located at 48-50 Chatsworth Road. Posing in the photo are Vipul (the manager), Harish, Pinar, Jay and Louise.
