An exhibition marking the 30th birthday of the Half Moon youth theatre in Limehouse has been extended after being postponed during the pandemic.

It features photos from 1990 of the streets where it opened, which are on show alongside pictures of the same locations taken by the theatre's current members three decades on.

It marks the 30th anniversary of the youth theatre, which should have been celebrated last year but the Covid lockdowns shut down all theatres and public places.

The delayed exhibition has been extended to December 18, with more snapshots now online comparing street scenes by residents and professional photographers in 1990 to photos taken last year snapped by youngsters on a project with photographer Emma Brown.

Half Moon is in White Horse Road, off Commercial Road.
