Brenda Askarian of Retriever Wholesale

Colour pigment photographic print of Brenda Askarian of the Retriever Wholesale company, Stratford, 2007. This business sold meat and halal products. The company was originally established at Queen's Market, Green Street, but moved to Marshgate Lane in Stratford in 1998. This was one of several businesses which lay within the area designated for the Olympic Park which were relocated or closed as a result. Properties in the area were the subject of compulsory purchase by the London Development Agency. This photograph was taken as part of a project to document the site of the London 2012 Olympic Games prior to its closure for redevelopment in July 2007.
