Further papers of Nigel Graeme Henderson (1917-1985)

1940–2006

Items available online are photographs taken by Nigel Henderson from the late 1940s to the mid 1950s. Included in this selection is an extensive series of images of the East End of London which Henderson shot between the late 1940s and early 1950s. This collection of images records aspects of one of London's working class communities and covers events such as celebrations for the 1953 Coronation of H.M. Queen Elizabeth II, activites around Henderson's home and street, and jazz musicians and artists. Also included in this selection are images of Eduardo Paolozzi and his work.

Details of the remainder of the collection can be found on the Archive catalogue.
