A Brent-born photographer is seeking people he took pictures of 30 years ago for an exhibition in Willesden next year.
Roy Mehta walked the borough s streets from 1989 to 1993 with his huge camera and was invited to take pictures of Afro-Caribbean and Irish communities engaged in seemingly simple activities at home, in the street and at church.

In 2019 the 52-year-old received a 2020 Culture Fund grant to develop his unique and evocative collection to showcase his art as part of the London Borough of Culture Brent 2020.
FOR many, the most remarkable thing about the London Borough of Brent is that it’s the home of Wembley stadium and the Hindu temple in Neasden.
Even more remarkable is the borough’s great ethnic diversity, with its population drawn from all corners of the globe.
Notable among them are the large Afro-Caribbean and Irish communities who, since settling in the area, have made significant contributions to local manufacturing and health and social services as well as its cultural life.
This rich history of multiculturalism is captured in photographs of Afro-Caribbean and Irish people in the borough in the book Revival: London 1989-1993 by Roy Mehta.
