‘Exploring the history and identity of the ‘Sugar Mile’ – a key transport artery threading together London’s Royal Docks.
DK-CM was commissioned by the Royal Docks team to produce a study of the areas around the Royal Docks Corridor programme to accompany these transformations in advance of work starting on-site. Our study, focussed upon the road but also encompassing the spaces, buildings and communities it threads through, provides both a historical narrative and a contemporary portrait of this extraordinary part of the Royal Docks for use by all those conceiving of change in London’s only Enterprise Zone.’
The layout stays minimalist with some addition of hand drawn lines to enhance the aspect of reserach and the study of archival material, like taking notes.
At the bottom of each page of the photographic essay, there is a map at the bottom of the page for the reader to help locate themself between the archive images and the present one.
