Deptford Lives - Patricio

Other videos related to this item:

Meet four distinctive individuals each living and working in Deptford, South East London.

This film show the creativity, community and diversity of one of the most colourful high streets in London.

Patricio creates unusual pieces of public art, Chris has developed her family’s rag and bone business into a thriving international recycling company, Ernie has run the same shop for over 40 years and Caffy promotes the local music scene.

It’s also here that the 2007 Tour De France competitors made a fleeting appearance after their historic departure from Trafalgar Square.

PATRICIO

Patricio and Julian are on a mission to create public art in Deptford and their unusual work can be seen on buildings, vans and in shops throughout the area. This film follows the unveiling of their most extraordinary and eco - friendly public installation to date – the cowbin.

CHRIS

Recycling queen

Ever wondered what happens to your clothes once you drop them off at the charity shop? Well there’s a pretty good chance they may end up at one of Chris’ warehouses.

Chris is the fourth generation of her family to run a rag and bone clothes stall in Deptford market. These days she’s also exporting clothes to Africa, but rising property prices are putting her business under threat and she’s now being forced to consider leaving the area she loves.

ERNIE AND BARRIE

Young at heart

A father and son business that has stood the test of time, Witcombs Cycles has been hand making bicycles for over 40 years and has set its name in cycling history through its links to the Tour De France.

But even though 88-year-old Ernie is keen to keep the business going, son Barry has his sights set on retirement. What future is there for this family-run enterprise?

CAFFY

If there’s a gig going down in Deptford, there’s only one person to come and see - Caffy.

Keeping the music alive

Caffy is a self-appointed promoter of Deptford Music Tourism and is pulling out all the stops to encourage music lovers to support local bands. Watch her setting up a three-day event and hear why she’s so passionate about South East London life!
