Hi. I recently became aware of John Claridge when I came across this website: https://spitalfieldslife.com/?s=john+claridge and discovered some of John Claridge's incredible black and white photographs of life and places in London's East End and Soho from the 1960s/1970s, some of which he has only recently rediscovered himself when finding some old slides. Such evocative and emotional pictures of a time gone by. Some of his photos' titles have notes attached about the photos. The author of this website has a fantastic writing style and expresses his knowledge of John Claridge through conversations they have had. One gains quite an insight of the man and the artist.
