The Deptford Anchor a popular hang out for Deptford locals was installed in 1988 and remained till 2013 when Lewisham Council gentrified the High St. A five year campaign began to re-install the Anchor and due to public pressure, it was returned in 2018 without any seating area for locals to hang out.

The photos in the book were taken between 2007-2013 and 2018-2022.
